Can anyone repair my beaded watch?

[BecauseImWorthIt]

Last Christmas I was bought a very pretty watch. It's an elasticated bracelet, made from two rows of beads, but the elastic has perished and snapped.

Is there anyone out there who - for a fee of course - can repair it for me? I'm very hamfisted and wouldn't know where to start or what to buy to do it!

Yeah won't actually take that long

My emails craftymiss2007 at ntlworld dot com

if you could email me I'll send you my details

[BecauseImWorthIt]

Yes, still got them - all sealed in an envelope.

Are you sure? £3 doesn't sound very much at all!

[moonmother]

Have you still got the beads? If its just a case of restringing and adding a clasp £3.00

[BecauseImWorthIt]

That would be a good idea! To be honest, I have quite slim wrists, and it never needed to be elasticated anyway (apart from to get it on).

How much would you charge me to do this?

[moonmother]

I could do it for you,tho would suggest replacing the elastic with something stronger(so it wouldn't perish again) and perhaps adding a nice clasp to it.
