Tutorial - How to Make a Popsicle Stick Clock

http://www.alvenh.com/misc-projects/clock/
Tutorial is 9 pages long with lots of photos

Tutorial at Alvenh Blog

"It all started in 2010 with an eBay search for a nice wall clock.  I wanted a clock decorated with animals, preferably wolves or dogs, in color, but with a traditional look.  Almost immediately, I found the perfect clock (well, almost), new in box. The only problem is that these clocks are almost always powered by battery quartz movements and rarely (if ever) mechanical (spring wind, weight driven, or synchronous AC motor).  And I absolutely HATE battery quartz movements. Then, an idea came to me: why not build a clock? Searching around, I came across an E. Ingraham spring wind clock movement dated 1868".... Read more

Tutorial - How to Make a Floral Wall Clock

Brighten a space with summer flowers

Tutorial at I Wear a Bow Blog

"This idea have been in my mind for so long. I love floral and want to make floral decoration for my room. Moreover, I have been wanting to replace my old plain black clock. So, why didn't I make a wall clock by myself? Combine two of my desires earlier, why not making a floral wall clock? Finally did! Yay! I really love this floral clock. Because it is suited my room that has a creamy pink wall color. If you like a girly room decoration, this floral wall clock will be a sweet touch to add into your room. Not to mention that you will like to see to your clock all day and be notified of time. Maybe you won't be late in your schedule again".... Read more

Tutorial - How to Make a Globe Clock

http://molliepop.com/diy-globe-clock/
Unique clock shows off a penchant for travel

Tutorial at Molliepop Blog

"Just so it’s clear, this post is not in honor of Christopher Columbus because he was pretty much the worst person ever. You can check out this awesome comic by The Oatmeal if you want the full story but I’m warning you, the details are gory. Instead, I’m taking a page out of Mathew Inman’s book and dedicating this project to Bartolemé de las Casas who was a much more decent fellow. History aside, this is a sweet little project that would fit perfectly in a class room or travel themed bedroom. For extra puniness, add alphabet stickers to spell out “Time To Travel".... Read more

Find a shape you like and design your clock

Tutorial at A Vision to Remember Blog

"My biggest problem is my living room walls are HUGE!  I have cathedral vaults and so it is hard to fill up wall space with a bunch of small frames.  Then it starts to look cluttered.  So I needed a BIG clock.  My other problem is I... AM.... CHEAP!  I hate spending money on decor items.  I worry that in a year I will be bored with it and then where am I?!?  Plus, have you ever looked at buying a clock that is over 2 feet wide?  Lets just say I haven't found one I liked for less than $200, and that one was cheap!  Instead I decided to build myself a clock"....

Tutorial - How to Refashion a Clock

http://www.one-o.it/diy-clock-makeover/#.UwMzUoXEFvh
Take a clock from infantile to modern

Tutorial at One O Textile Blog

"Last week, probably because of a small fit of madness, I have revolutionized my bedroom, cleaning everything  and moving furniture ( I now have my desk facing the window so I can enjoy as much natural light as possible. I can’t explain how this has made my work more enjoyable! ). Anyway, in the middle of my “desperate housewife” madness I found an old clock. It was in excellent condition, but definitely too infantile … so I decided to transform it and give it new life".... Read more

Tutorial - How to Make a Steampunk Style Box

Add clock rub-ons and stamps

Box Tutorial at Crafting by Dominique Blog

"I keep floating more and more away from cutting out pieces of tissue and gluing them down. With each project I very rarely have a finished look in my head, or even if I do, I alter the concept, the colour scheme, etc. It was no different with this little box. Initially, I imagined a steampunk like piece of collage luring from underneath the glass with a few metal gear elements on top of the lid. The collage was created… and then never printed out. Btw, I love browsing the web for exciting vintage and quirky looking images, but once saved, they all end up on a ‘perhaps’ list".... Read more
