The Domino Effect

A fun and playful clock made of domino tiles.

We've all loved playing this vintage game of thumb-sized tiled numbers. But today we play Domino of a different kind.

In this DIY, we stack these domino tiles in a circular fashion by using each number tile as a corresponding number to the digits of the clock. To make this super fun clock, all we need is a wall clock, some paint color of our choice and a set of dominoes of course.

 

To start off with, neatly paint the clock uniformly. After it dries we need to stick the domino tiles. It's best to put first the 12 and then in it opposite side place the 6. Then in between in the right side put the 3 and thus with opposite placements we'll get all our tiles neatly and appropriately placed.

In just 2 simple steps, our playful clock is ready. It would look great for a kid’s room or even in your study.

Happy times are ready to tick by - a sweeping domino effect I say.

 

The Sunburst Clock

Sunburst style wall clock made of a fan’s protective wire case.

Sunburst décor items like mirrors, clocks or wall-arts are quite a trend since a long time, and till date they are very popular. The reason for their everlasting popularity could be their magnanimous shape & size; that a single of these sun-burst items can make a large empty wall look compellingly beautiful. 

So for our very own sunburst inspired DIY, we got a brilliant take-away in the form of the outer protective case of a standing fan. It’s natural shape itself, with the central casing and circularly diverging wires provided the perfect sunburst-like effect.

To give a new finish we painted the metal case a shiny silver. And to the central potion we added some gold glitter to the silver paint. In order to make the clock form, we put 3-6-9-12 digits in gold all around the centre and screwed-in a clock unit at the mid-point.

With just these few basic steps, we created a bright-big-sunburst clock! The time for sure looks brighter now.

Good Gold Times

Decorative golden plate converted into a decorative golden clock!

Good memories are made by good times, and good times are definitely made better by viewing it in a good clock! So all it takes is a good clock to make a good memory. As simple as it can be.

Let’s cut short the philosophy and focus on clocks!

Well, a clock apart from the elementary work it does of showing time can become quite an exquisite home décor article.

A couple of days back, we saw this gold-oozing, decorative serving plate at the local market. It was that kind of an item which drew your attention to it and made sure it never went away. So I bought the plate just with the sole intention of reforming it into a clock. Coz I knew that this one article would be enough to embellish any pale wall.

All we needed to do is drill a hole to through its center. Then put a time-piece from behind – (you can take from an old clock or just buy a new one). Lastly added the black hands in front – hours, minutes, and seconds. Time to tick on. Another look that can be tried is by attaching a pendulum to the clock. Time to tick on again.

As I thought, when we put this clock on a blank wall, the entire wall emblazoned with the solid golden beauty of the clock. It’s so cool to see that such small measures have such great impacts!

Good-gold times, ticking on…

If you have any old decorative plate, just drill a hole through its center, add a time-piece in behind and the hands in front. Hang it and that’s it; you have made a brand new clock which is ready to flaunt your walls.
