DIY free clock upgrade
It was a week full of projects in my home, and I thought I should share one with you all! When I moved into my apartment over the summer, I purchased two cheap-o $4 wall clocks with the intention of upgrading once I had decorated my new space. Well, I’ve lived here for more than half a year, and can NO LONGER stand the ugly clocks… what’s a girl on a budget to do? Get creative! Here’s what you need: A Sharpie (I had a package of @ ! { & stickers on hand that I purchased on clearance and was waiting to use, but you could easily draw the same characters), opaque paper, screwdriver, and a clock.
This project actually took me under 5 minutes from start to finish. Simply unscrew the clock frame, pop off all 3 hands, cut the paper to fit, draw your characters, and reassemble! Happy crafting :)

Need to make one with a set of handcuffs (or a ball and chain) at 8 o’clock, and a skeleton key at 5 o’clock.
Love it! I’ve got one I need to replace the hands on… I was thinking about finding a “donor” clock. Maybe I’ll just do something fun like this instead!
