Tick Tock Make Your Own Clock

I usually try to think of a clever way to introduce stuff. I usually post things I like, most of which I want to try at some point. But I am frantic, desperate even, to find a place in my house that I can use this idea from decor8:

You can buy a kit from Dutch by Design for $65, but you could also make this SO easily!! You can find clock hands anywhere. I have a friend that used to buy them on Ebay, big ones to make wagon wheel clocks. That and a piece of wood to mount it on and twelve random frames that you can find anywhere and you have this!

I am thinking that I can do family pictures and use it in the living room...or I could use patterns (from fabric or paper) and use it in my master bedroom.

TO DIE FOR! Are you kidding me? Sometimes coming here really screws with my life. How in the world and I going to go on living without making one of these?

Lorie said...
