I made the larger of the two bracelets following (mostly) Scrappy's tutorial. Immediately after seeing it my daughter (turns 3 next month) kept saying “Daddy pwetty basewet!” lol. I decided to make her one of her own, as can be seen in the photos.
I made these from poplar, finished with high-gloss poly, and used magnetic clasps that I got at Michael’s.
I apologize that the photos are slightly blurry.
I have plans to make myself a watch, havn’t yet decided on a material, I will either go with the poplar again, or may go with red oak. I have already ordered a rectangular watch insert. Once it arrives and I finish the watch I will post it as a new project.

Well done I like them. Looks like a fun project and sharing one with your little one is cool.

No, Steve Good has a pattern to do exactly that. (Which can be found here)
However, thats not what I did. I used a 1/4” straight flute bit in my router to notch a block, then one of my scroll saws with a heavy blade to “slice” off the links. The steps can be found in Scrappy’s tutorial which I linked to in the description.

Actually yes, this was probably one of the most fun projects I’ve done. I really enjoyed it. I plan to add them to my Etsy shop (would have customers measure around their wrists so I can make proper length for them)

Nice! How thick are the pieces?
They are approx 1/4” thick. I set up a makeshift rail on my large 1940’s scrollsaw, put a heavy blade (by scrollsaw standards lol), and used the square from my router table (just pushed against side of saw table) and cut off the links. I set the rail to somewhere between 1/32 and 1/16 over 1/4 (so the links come out about 1/4 after all the sanding)

I would bet she hasn’t wanted to take it off since you put it on her. Great idea and it looks like you could add links as she grows.

She wouldn’t even take it off to go to bed. In the end I decided wasn’t worth the fight lol, being that it has a magnetic clasp the worst that I could see happening is it popping off her.

I knew it! Popping off then the terrible realization that it is no longer on in the middle of the night. I think by our age we have all had things far more dangerous in our beds.

She loves it, and normally she’s much more smiley for pictures, but in that picture she had just woken from a nap (hence the messy hair lol) and wasn’t yet in ham mode.
