Note: Components and tools listed within this INSTRUCTIONS box and the printer-friendly PDF, if available, may have been discontinued since this project was published. Refer to the PURCHASE COMPONENTS and TOOLS AND OTHER SUPPLIES sections for current availability.

1. To make this watch, please view the video: How to Peyote Bead Weave a Watch Band.
2. In the video you will learn how to add watch strap adapters to your watch face lug bars, how to peyote stitch the watch band, and how to attach the watch band to both the adapters and the clasp.
3. The video demonstrates the striped version of this watch, not the leopard print. All the techniques are the same regardless of the pattern. However, to make this watch project, please follow the leopard print peyote pattern provided. To learn how to read a pattern, please watch the video: How to Read a Peyote Pattern Bead Chart.
4. It is important to note that you will want to "try on" the watch as you are working to make sure you end up with a proper fit. The video provides some tips on how to go about doing this. When beading, you might find that you do not need to bead the entire length of the leopard print pattern. Feel free to stop on whatever row feels like the best fit for your wrist.
