Simple handmade ribbon watch
I just love the simplicity of a gift like this. And when I say simplicity, I mean wow. Wow, this takes a few minutes and the ability to install a snap in a ribbon.
This is a watch face that can be purchased at a thousand different craft or jewelry supply stores online or at your local malls or shopping areas. You can find the watch face findings literally in every craft supply store under the sun. Every one, bar none. And the same with the eyelet snap (and for the record, if you like the jeweled part, you will be looking for a rhinestone snap).
That is all this is.
A beautiful velvet ribbon this time.
An eyelet snap.
A watch face.
As an interesting variation, a second piece of velvet ribbon was used to make a bow, and then sewn onto the first ribbon as a permanent decoration. If you liked the idea, you could sew it on using regular thread, or if you were not sure, you could sew it on using a snap which means you could take it off or leave it on according to how you felt that day.
If you decided to use a snap, I would provide a decorative button or something along those lines with an additional snap on it to cover the empty snap on the ribbon, if that makes sense to you. Something so as not to just leave an empty snap sitting on the velvet ribbon all day.
Anyway, it would not take that long to put together some really spectacular watches for gifts for all your girlfriends. You could make a gift of one watch face with multiple ribbon watchbands so that your friend could change the band as her mood changes.
What a neat idea for a friend that changes her clothes as often as she changes her mind! And since you only need enough ribbon to go around a wrist, the cost would be minimal, which is perfect for our budget conscious Christmas plans.
