Watch Locket Craft

I realised that I have about a million cheap old watches that have died.  And it would be cheaper to replace them with a new cheap watch, rather than buy a battery.  Plus, I never wear watches.  So I decided to recycle them into lcokets!

Ok, that is a lie.  My dad had this idea, actually, and told me I should do it.  To my credit however, I recognized the idea for the genius it was and successfully brought the project to life.
Step One:  I found a watch that I wanted to use.
 (Or in this case, several.)


 












Step Two:  Then I pried the back of with a butter knife, and took out its innerds.  I saved the clock faces for later crafting purposes.
Dismantled watch in all its glory.



















Then I shrunk down a few favourite photographs in Paintshop, printed 'em out, cut them to fit and voila! Stuck them in, shut the back and now I have a bunch of beautiful lockets. Super easy.
