When I was little I remember my mum had a watch that you could change the faces on, go with whatever colour fit your outfit at the time. I loved to play with that watch!
It just made so much sense to me, you have one watch but so many options. The ingenuity of the 90's.
I've made my own version here with some little glass jars I found at the discount store and a necklace that I had lying around. I never really wore the necklace because I didn't like the charms on it, but what I did like was the copper and silver of the chain, going with the theme of having more choice with the necklace.
There were 8 jars, and I filled them with stuff from all around the house with the aim of getting the largest range of colours I could.
I used sugar and chilli spice mix from the kitchen. I found an old purple eyeshadow and some concealer in the bathroom. And from the craft room I took some beads, glitter, heart shaped sparkles and a peacock feather.
The next step is to jam the lids in nice and tight, then fix a jump ring through the hole in the top of the lid. You can then swap and change as many times as you need when deciding on your outfit in the morning!
The cost of this project was just $2 for the glass jars, and the rest of the stuff I already had in the house! Plus, if I ever get sick of a colour, I can just refill as needed.
