Ask any fashion expert: charms and charm bracelets are hot. Celebrities flaunt them, publications such as Dolly and Girlfriend feature them, and there's a good reason for the resurgence: wearing personalised charms around your wrist is like wearing the tiny, tinkling story of your life.
'Design Your Own Charm Watch' is a timely twist on the charm bracelet trend. It comes with an attractive analog watch (hands on a dial, not digital) on a band of adjustable link chain, along with a good supply of charms, beads, bead wire and jump rings. Follow the illustrated step-by-step instructions to create a uniquely charming timepiece. Complete your watch using just the supplies provided or follow the book's direction to incorporate your own specially found objects such as seashells, buttons, pretty stones and orphaned earrings. For inspirations, specific how-to's are given for four fun theme watches (Beaded Blossom, Seaside, Fashion and The Kitchen Sink) but really, the sky's the limit.
Isn't it time you got creative?
