Watch band storage trays, cases and boxes [MERGED]

[Skorpio]

I'm almost embarrassed to admit how I did it. I cut the leg off an old pair of really big sweat pants and squared it up. I used hem tape to make a nice hem at the bottom. I put pieces of hem tape on either end to form side seams, and then lined up my watches and put down a piece of hem tape between each. The hard part was then removing the backing to the hem tape. Then all you have to do is fold up and press down so that the tape sticks. (You can get the tape at any craft/hobby store.)

You're almost embarrassed because you're crafty, frugal, and likes to think outside of the box? Job well done!
I can tell you what degree a camshaft needs to be on an engine with variable valve timing on both intake and exhaust valves, but you got me on this "hem" tape.

Everyone should use hem tape. You just stick it down on the fabric, peel the other side, and then fold up instead of sewing your hem. Life for the lazy.

I have a rubber lined clear flatware tray for my future bands.

I was looking for something that would travel well, as far as keeping the bands in place & from being damaged. I found this one on Amazon:

Has anyone seen it before & is it as good as it looks?

Started looking for a box to keep my watch bands in, then realised I already have one...

That’s the one I am using, also.

I am thinking of getting one of these for my bands for travel.

Nice. Too bad they don't have solid colors.

I'm a little suspicious there isn't a clear pic of the inside part, you know, the pockets that would hold the watch bands. But, this is the format I'm looking for also. I just bought some hem tape, and about to do the "Alliflowers" organizer if I can't find something better for reasonable $.

I prefer it to have a clear inside all together.

I have seen these in both patterns and solids. I am checking Etsy to have a custom one made.

They are nice but expensive. I got mine at Amazon for $16 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007CNG96C/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_.CKFvbR6ANHB6

Think I am going to give this one a shot.

I just got this same box, so far so good.

My wife handmade me this beautiful portable strap pouch. I can now bring my straps with me wherever I go and change straps as and when I please.

This looks great... your wife has done an excellent job with this! Sort of thing i might look into for my future watch strap purchases

Well, no DIY "Alliflowers" storage bag yet, but I found an alternative that's working so far, but it's definitely not fancy (which doesn't make a difference to me). -
Two clear sample/brochure bags stapled together from a prescription medication- holds all my OEM bands, tools, jewelry (plug earrings), non OEM bands, and extra s/m bands. It easily folds up like an accordian for a small footprint.
From left to right- Apple bands, tools/jewelry/adapters, non Apple bands, S/M sized straps.

Moko black band on wrist.

Use my gadget bag when I travel for the straps with my leads etc.

That's not a bad idea to store bands in general. I have one of those too that I use for traveling. Great idea!

Where do you store your bands? I'm trying to get some ideas. Thanks.

Just in my bedside table drawer.

In the boxes they came in, I know it's not that exciting but it works.

I need a better solution for this too. I dump them in a drawer in my desk. I always have to dig around to find the one I want.
