I saw the cutest little watch project at a linkie party the other week. Kimberly came up with a toddler watch made out of felt and buttons and included a great tutorial. I ran right out and bought the supplies the very day I saw her cute watches. I made 4. Two for my son, one for my daughter's best friend, and one for my nephew.
The only thing I would change about Kimberly's watch would be to cut two wristbands and glue (I used hot glue) them together. Felt can be stretched out and it doesn't get unstretched. My son is only 1 1/2 and he started pulling at his to pull it off and it got stretched. so...I just glued a strip to reinforce to them. But I think it would look more professional to have the whole wristband shape.

So cute...and you don't see too many cute things for boys. So I jumped on this one!

What a cute idea. Yours turned out wonderful!
They look so good, Boston loves his! Thanks! Too cute!
OMGosh - I love watches, I can't get enough of them. When I was a kid I would have made tons of these. They are so cute and colorful. My girls are grown, but they would have loved to make and wear one of these too.

These are great! And doubling the felt for the band? duh... it's just brilliance! :)
