Sustainable mend and maintain-along ♻️

My watch band broke several months ago. Rather than order a new one, I just wore a different watch…but lately the watch I switched to has been leaving welts on my wrist. I thought about ordering a new band for either watch, but then decided to make a new watch band myself instead. I used the broken watch band as a template, reused the existing hardware (since only the band itself broke), and made a new band out of a scrap of leather we had in the kids craft bin. I’m quite pleased with the result.
