Psssh....Who needs pricey watch bands?

I posted on Easter how Kris had broken my watch band, and how I improvised on Easter.

Well.... I finally went to everyones favorite discount store, Walmart... and got ribbon for my do-it-yourself watch bands.... I am on a bow kick lately, and love everything and anyting  to do with bows.
So heres what I came up with:

These Ribbons, by the way cost me all together $3.50!!!.  If that isn't a steal then I don't what is!
I put these on all by myself, but if you aren't the best at using one hand and what is available of your other fingers...then I would ask someone to do it for you. 
Best part about that:  They will give you kudos for such a great idea!

Enjoy!

  6. What a clever idea! Perfect for me. I have tiny wrists and can never find a watch that will fit me comfortable. The ribbon is great for that!

  7. Very clever idea! I'm going to get a really long one and wear my watch as a headband.

    Thanks for posting my button! I returned the favor. ;)

  10. You are brilliant! I don't wear a watch anymore, (I usually just look at my phone for time), but now I am thinking about getting one just for looks! I do something a little similar to this with a charm that I put my baby boy's birth date on with different thin ribbons that I wrap around my wrist multiple times, but I really really like the look of big thick ribbons! You really have inspired me, all kinds of ideas are swirling in my head now! THANK YOU!
