How to Repair a Chanel Watch Band

A Chanel watch is a classic accessory that is always in style. Most Chanel watches are well made, but you may get a small tear in the watch band due to excessive wear. Because a Chanel watch can be expensive, you don't want to use an abrasive product, such as glue, to repair the band. Instead, use a temporary product, such as bandage tape, to hold the band together until you can take it to a professional watch shop for a permanent fix.

Things You'll Need

Scissors
Nail file
Bandage tape or floral tape
Permanent marker

Instructions

- 1
  Cut away loose threads around the tear on the band using a small set of scissors, like those that come with a sewing kit. If the tear is rough or jagged, smooth it down with a small nail file.
- 2
  Cut two strips of bandage tape, like a Band Aid. Make sure the strips are approximately the length of the tear on the band. Floral tape can be used as a substitute if you don't have bandage tape on hand.
- 3
  Color in the bandage strips using a permanent marker that matches the color of the watch band, like black or brown. This will help the tape blend in with the band.
- 4
  Peel the sticky backing off of the bandage strips and place one under the tear and one over it, so the band is attached on both sides.
