I also found e6000 to dry out before I use the whole tube. Since I don’t use it frequently, I have started to buy it in smaller tubes. Might be slightly more expensive, but I don’t end up throwing away half a tube.
Great idea! Thanks!
Beautiful work! I found a kit on Amazon that cost about $20 or $25 and has all of the tools needed to disassemble a watch without marring it. Well worth the price.
Nice! Thanks for the information!
@@refunctioncrafts4928 You're welcome. I started taking apart a bunch of watches last year and made a mess of them until I got the kit. 🙂
Wow Carol these are absolutely stunning!! You certainly found your niche in life making all your gorgeous pieces of jewelry. Thank you for sharing! God bless you dear.
Vinny thank you so much my friend! You’re so kind! ❤️❤️
Absolutely Beautiful pieces of Art and remember, even a broken watch is right twice a day!
Starcat Catherine Hale thank you! That’s right! Wish I had thought of that during the video, lol❤️❤️
Thank you for having the camera closer, able to see what your making. You make beautiful things and I like your attention to details!!
Maria Gouveia you’re very welcome! I listened to your comment from the last video. Thanks for letting me know. ❤️
Enjoy your videos. Don’t know if it will help you, but, the piece that is used to wind the watch is the stem and crown. The stem is the part that connects the crown to the movement, or “guts”, and the crown is the cap at the end of the stem that you hold and turn to wind or set the watch. The bars that hold the watch band are pins. They often can be removed. When they get old they can become loose and can fall out. They can be replaced. The outside of the watch is the case. The front of the case, around the face, is the bezel. The inside of the watch is the movement. The pieces in the movement with teeth are gears. Thought this might help you to describe what you are doing.
Wow, thanks so much! You obviously know a great deal about watches. So awesome! ♥️♥️
With your inspiration and tutorials, I have begun to turn old watches like these into refrigerator magnets. They also make a wonderful final addition to mixed media projects after the gesso, paint and wax. Thank you for sharing...and a special shout out to Happybird's Glitter Nest on YT for directing me to your channel.
Thank you so very much! I’m so glad you’ve been inspired to create some of these yourself! I absolutely love HappyBird! She helped me to get my channel started. Now if I could only get the subscribers she has, lol. ♥️♥️
Jut beautiful hon, will see about getting you some smaller pieces :)
Love how these turned out and also the photos you used in them.
Nancy Hudgins thanks friend!
You can remove the pins and possibly add a bead to either side to hold a bail, etc., in place. You can then replace the pins. The pins are held in place with a spring. Use a small flat blade, such as a mini screwdriver, to press in the ends of the pins. Be careful not to shoot the pins across the room.
I’ve made some as pendants using bails and they are gorgeous!
All three are absolutely beautiful!!
Love your altered watches turned out so lovely I love the rhinestones and Pearl's you added Fabulous job Blessings stay safe💛🌷🦋

Carol Thank You so much for the mention but these are for One of my Favorite Artists! You really are so talented!! Thank You for Your Gift. The Video is Incredible! And Many Blessings!
Lisa Palmese awe, you’re so welcome! Thank you for the watches. I had so much fun working with them!😁❤️
A beautiful project. I may try this if I can find a pretty watch. TFS
Kathleen Wilson thank you!❤️
Excellent tutorial beautiful pieces I was taking back of a watch while watching it took me 20 min to get off but I will go back and watch again
Melba Tate thank you! Lol, I know some of those backs are really hard to remove. 😁
You can purchase a “watch press” from Amazon and other places, which in very inexpensive and it will help you to press the backs on the watches which are difficult without damaging the glass crystal. I change the batteries in numerous watches that I own and this is a handy item.
Thank you very much for the tip! I will check that out 😁
So happy I found you. I have all of my mom’s watches and bling jewelry. I want to make meaningful gifts for family members. What do you put on the roses? Absolutely gorgeous 🦋
Thank you so much! The best thing to do with the roses is to add triple thick to the pedals to strengthen them. I actually have started using UV resin because I can drizzle some on them and set them in the sun for 1/2 hour and it cures and makes them hard. It works like a charm. A bit expensive but one of my best tools. You can get it on Amazon
@@refunctioncrafts4928 thank you!!
LOVE ALL YOUR ART,!!! Thank you! Trying to reorganize my craft room, gonna take forever! Can’ t wait to start crafting, you got me motivated!! Please tell me how I can mail a small gift to you, thanks, you are a very special soul!!! THANK,!!!

These are beautiful:) I just made my first altered tin and I did a video on my channel. I did a huge shout out to you because watching your videos inspired me. Mine is well its defensively a beginner tin but I had fun. Thank you so much for your inspiring videos. You are truly a talented artist. Please stay safe: xoxo
Midge's Mountain Crafts thank you so much! I just subscribed to your channel. Will do some watching later.
Midge's Mountain Crafts I just watched my first video on your channel. I LOVE your work and I thank you for the shout out. Shared your video on my Facebook pages too. Xoxo. Will be binge watching more. 😁❤️
I'm gonna give this a try. Just beautiful!
XoXo
Just lovely
Beautiful💕
I love it.
Aqui 🇧🇷❤️❤️ Loveeeeee ❣️ tradução por favor
Are there holes on each side of that top bar? If so, remove the bar and replace it with tiny chain/odd number of links, then attach a jump ring to the middle link! Hanging problem solved!!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your advice. ♥️♥️
Very pretty and looks so fun to do🙂tyfs God bless p.s maybe you make them little globes inside them?😏
Hopes Heavenly Creations thank you! They are shakers and I think I’m going to turn them into brooches.
Can you bend that top bar to make a small divit, to make it easier to hang a chain/necklace?
I’m afraid if I bent the bar it would just fall out.
Beautiful 😍!! Can I ask how much you sold your altered watch pieces for ??? I wouldn't know how much to ask 🤷♀️
Thank you! Depending on how elaborate I go I sell them for between $25.00 to $35.00. They are worth every penny and people really love them. ❤️❤️
Love all your video's!! Can you please tell me what type of store or name to buy the earrings bling at? I don't have any stores in my area like that. I have joined Kiki's Sale. Thanks for all your help..
I buy them sometimes from a local store here in California but they don’t sell online.
Where do you get such small,clear images?
You can buy images on Etsy or other sites. They send you electronic files. Also, I will use images from calendars, napkins, etc. I’m always looking for great images to use.
That yellow rose is too large, can you try a slightly smaller sized flower-roses??
I would agree with you on the rose. I made these when I was just working with the little stash I had so I just used what was available at the time. It’s probably time for me to make some more with the things I have available now. 😁♥️
where / how will these beauties be used?
I have turned them into brooches, purse charms and necklaces. I sell them in my Etsy Shop.
