I found these clocks near the dollar bins at Target for $2.50, and I knew that I could make something great out of them. I have been wanting to craft some more clocks but with clock kits alone being $7.00 it wasn't in my budget.

You Will Need (5 things)

  • a pre-made Clock (or a clock kit and a face).

Steps (13 steps, 40 minutes)

  1. 1

    Disassemble the clock and remove any items the are attached to it.

  2. 2

    I chiseled of the foot balls with a Philips screw and a hammer.

  3. 3

    To take the clock kit out, pop of the hands (gently) and unscrew the middle of the kit.

  4. 4

    Store parts in a baggie as they tend to get lost.

    cut a piece of fabric that is big enough to cover the clock.

    sew around the edge of the fabric on a loose stitch.

    gather the fabric by pulling the threads, you will end up making a large Yo-Yo.

  8. 8

    Insert the clock with the opening in the back and tightening the threads and knot them.

    cut a hole out of the fabric using a utility or craft knife. I poke from the back to the front to ensure that I was putting the hole in the right spot.

  10. 10

    Gather you embellishments.

  11. 11

    I used buttons for the numbers and I had a circle scrap booking embellishment that I cut a hole out of for the middle of the clock.

    Glue the embellishments to the face.

  13. 13

    Insert the clock kit, tighten the bolt, attach the hands, find a battery, hang on the wall.
