Repurposed Wristwatch

 

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

XO Lisa S

  1. 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.

    1. Debby,
      Thank you so much! I think one of your watches would look so special with a photo tucked inside of your mom and dad.
