I totally have a thing for clocks.
Make a wall clock.
Make sure to set the clock before hanging it on the wall.
I always wanted to make my own but i never got around to it.
I can t walk into a hobby lobby or a bed bath and beyond without hemming and hawing over a wall clock.
Buy three times the supplies and make three times the clocks.
Yet wall clocks in the store can get quite expensive.
There are an infinite number of ways to approach assembling your own clock i used a piece of plywood for demonstration below but you can easily fit the movement components into any number of materials like into the center of a vintage dinner plate with the help of a diamond drill bit or onto a piece of tile or onto a chalkboard think of the creative possibilities with chalk drawn.
Touch up any scuffs or marks and allow the touch ups to dry.
But clocks represent the passage of time so even if your diy clock is for pure decor value that s ok.
Once the paint has dried on the trivet slowly peel the tape off the trivet.
A quick and inexpensive way to build a wall clock.
Drill a small hole in the middle of the clock for reference then line up the straight edge of speed square with the joint in the middle of the clock and the center hole.
To make sure your numbers are lined up correctly use a speed square and a straight edge to line everything up so there are 30 degrees between all the numbers.
Looking for a great gift idea to give to a loved one that is easy and cheap to make.
Clocks are easy and inexpensive to make and simply require a base and a purchased clock kit.
