The key to success of this project is to choose a beautiful fabric or embroidery!
This idea is quite simple to implement, and the possibilities for decor are very wide. The hoop of your watch may be what you want. You can choose a plain or printed fabric, take a shred of material from which decorative pillows, curtains or a bedspread are sewn, make your own embroidery or a fabric painted with your own hands made or specially made for this project. Of course, hoops are also better to take beautiful. A universal option is wooden, as in this example.
