Godagoda Women Multilayer Wrap Weave Rhinestone Velvet Band Bracelet Quartz Wrist Watch

Watches.  They are my weakness.  It seems like I can't get enough or have enough watches!  I need a watch that will go with each of my favorite and most worn outfit.  I guess you can say I have a weakness for watches and anytime I see a new style of watch or a watch that is blinged out and catches my eye, I gotta have it!  I feel lost with a watch and if I ever forget to wear one, it drives me crazy, not being able to look down to see what time it is and not having something adorn my wrist.

This beautiful watch shown below, is one of my favorites.  It is the first time I've had a multi wrap watch, especially one that gives the appearance of a watch and bracelet.  It has such a stylish and fashionable look, that I've worn it two days straight!  I love how the Rhinestones just shine in the light!  This is me!  



The watch wraps easily and perfectly around my wrist.  It has just enough notches to wear the watch loose or snug.  The watch is by Godagoda and is approximately 58cm in length (22.8 inches).  The watch I chose is a bright white watch and has a square or rectangle face plate.  It is adorned with many many rhinestones that glistens under the lights.  The face plate is gold tone as well as the dial. The band of the Godagoda Women Multilayer Wrap Weave Rhinestone Bracelet Watch is made of velvet.  It has the looks of faux leather and seem to be made really well.



This watch, since I chose white, goes with everything.  The piece makes a statement and everyone will surely notice this watch.  It is very trendy, fashionable and has that wrap around belt bracelet look.  Layering bracelets is very popular and wearing a multilayer wrap watch will give off that affect, as if you are layering up your watch with matching bracelets.  I have got to have this watch in other colors!  Speaking of which, hellocrafts on Amazon, has these watches in several color choices.  They are: Black, Blue, Green (lime color), Light Blue, Pink, White and Fuchsia.  



And get this...THIS MULTI LAYER WATCH IS ONLY $1.49!  Seriously...only a $1.49!  You can afford to get every single color they have!  I am definitely planning on purchasing more of these watches from hellocrafts!

DIY Personalized Cork Board

Couple years ago, I had a co-worker and friend ask me if I could make a personalized cork board for her three daughters.  I have never even attempted to make one, let alone, knew how to make one.  This was to be a Christmas present for both girls, that would be hung up in their dining room for display.

The mother wanted it to display photos, as well as other important things in her girls lives.  She contacted me because she knew I made hair bows and re constructed T-shirts, among other things.  She always saw my "next DIY creation"  on Facebook.  I give credit to Pinterest!  

Pinterest has been my inspiration for many many things, including: reconstructed t-shirts, jewelry, hair bows, DIY household products and much much more.  So....what do you think I did when I was asked to make this personalized cork board?  Yep, I went straight to Pinterest!  There, I could get some kind of pattern, color and design ideas.  Here is the photo of the finished cork board.  Mind you, it's the very first one I've ever done.

AUDREY, ADDISON AND KENDALL
I know they were proud of this! 


The board is covered with a pink and purple fabric.  I wrapped the cork board in the fabric, pulled it tight and brought the ends to the back and stapled it.  I then bought two purple and pink boas, also purchased at Walmart and hot glued them to the fabric board.  To get the letters to look the way they did, I had some stencils and traced the letters onto the board, very lightly, but dark enough to where I could see the letters.  Next came the rhinestones.  I hot glued the rhinestones, to the traced letters and finished it off with a hand made bow I made.


You will need at least a yard more of fabric in making a cork board similar to this.  You will need enough to where you can staple the fabric to the back of the board.  The rhinestones, it's easier to hot glue and work with the larger stones than it is with the smaller ones.  I ended up purchasing two cases, approximately $5 - $6 for each case.  Boas were about $6.00 each.  Fabric, if you can find a nice looking fabric on the $1.00 clearance, go for it.  This was not the case for this board, as it needed to be pink, purple and girly.  This fabric ran me around $2.00 per yard.



Have you made a personalized cork board?  What does yours look like?
