Isn’t this a nifty idea? It looks like these watchbands are fabric – sewed to the watch after the embellishment was affixed. I think it would be easy enough to take an inexpensive store bought watchband and add one’s own embellishements. Use a free edging pattern online or find one in a book you own, crochet it, glue it to the watchband and go! Make one to match all your outfits!

Too cute and much sturdier than a ribbon watch band.
