    step one - Cut a picee of wire 20cm (8") long and thread through one of the holes on the watch face. Place the watch so it is in the middle of the wire. Thread either side of the face a round bead, then begin to thread the stone chips.


    step two - Continue to do this until you have created a section approx 6cm (2 1/2") long. Note you may have to adjust this depending on the size of watch face you use and clasps. When you have threaded the required amount of beads on, using the crimp ends to attach one side of the clasp to the strap just created.


    step three - Repeat the process for the other side, trying to make this side the same lenght as the other, then attach the other side of the clasp.
