With so many options on the market today, choosing between a wristband and jewelry can be difficult. Rising in popularity, wristbands are fast becoming an economical and stylish choice for those who wish to have a more personalized accessory option.
Whether looking for an economical jewelry alternative or for a more custom appearance, with a little creativity and imagination, anyone can make their own personalized wristband.
Available at many craft stores, pre-made wristbands made of leather, nylon, fabric or durable rubber can be purchased in many different colors and widths. If a braided design for a more creative look is desired, choose leather strands in a preferred thickness and braid them together. Knot each strand at the end and add a dressy clasp or leave lengths unbraided to tie on the inside of the wrist.
To replace a wristwatch, purchase a water proof watch face and affix it to your choice of wristband using an adhesive, heavy stitching or metal clips. Add beads, crystals or loose gems for adornment to create a formal look.
For a more casual appearance, use a durable fabric like denim. Denim fabric can be found in many patterns and colors and, when double folded, will provide for a durable and washable wristband option. Adding initials in decorative stitching will give your wristband a personal touch.
By using small embellishments like beads, metal studs or gems, or by incorporating jewelry such as old earrings or chains, you can create a uniquely personal wristband of your own.
