Cased Starburst Wrapper Bracelet

This week the #120 challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments is Anything But a Card and to make a Wearable Bit of Art.  You have to go check them all out and then add your handmade piece of jewelry to the site. 

When I saw these cool Starburst Wrapper Bracelets on Pinterest I immediately thought of using a cool combination of Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up! to make a watch.  I started with the Starburst Wrapper tutorial for some good instructions on how to make a fun and funky bracelet.  Then I modified the instructions to accomodate the weight of Stampin' Up!'s Designer Series Papers.

Here is what I did to adjust for the heavier weight of the Floral District Designer Series Paper:

I cut 20-24 strips of DSP at 4.5" x 1".
Then I folded each in half lengthwise.
And then I folded each lengthwise strip in half widthwise.
From that point I followed the tutorial.
To add the watch face I simply slipped the watch-band in between the strips.
I made my watch big enough to slip over my wrist like a bangle.
