Hello my friend!
Today I was going through a bag of
thrifted jewelry and found
a couple of old flex band watches.
One was missing the interior, one was in better shape.
Both watches were broken. The bands were in good condition.
They were also missing the stems.
I thought I could turn the watch
into a keepsake locket type of bracelet.
I used a paperclip to pry open
the watch case.
I saved the clock face- of course-
I have a collection of sea glass
from many wonderful trips the beach.
We loved to walk the shoreline looking for treasures.
I sorted through our collection
to find some small
pieces.
I love the mix of colors.
Fill with the tiny sea glass, beads, photo-
any small memento to make a personal keepsake!
The back snaps easily into place.
The tiny glass stones can be seen through
the watch front window. It makes a beautiful
sound when shaken.
Can you see the tiny surprise inside?
I made two-
Now they can be worn and enjoyed
as a sea glass keepsake bracelet.
Your visit means a lot to me!
Thank you

How creative. After my parents passed I found every watch they ever owned. Watches that used to be quality. I also have 2 watches my mom gave me - they no longer work but I can’t bring myself to just get rid of them. I never thought about repurposing them.
ReplyDeleteDebby,
DeleteThank you so much! I think one of your watches would look so special with a photo tucked inside of your mom and dad.
