And I dreamed of making it with family pictures instead of scrapbook paper. My husband loved the idea. And we looked for frames and thought about pictures. And then something happened and like many other things it got pushed to the one of these days but not today pile.
Now somewhere far far away, Nancy had the same dream. And unlike me, Nancy is not a slacker. So Nancy actually found the frames, the clock hands and the pictures and made herself a clock:
And I am actually glad I waited, because I think I am going to steal her cute quote idea! LOVE IT!!
She even took the pictures a step further and the number of people in each picture corresponds with the number on the clock. Way too crafty!
I meant to send you a link to the one I made, because I loved the idea enough to get busy as well. Trust me, most of my great plans never come to fruition. This one was worth it. I put it together for Father's Day, so it is just pictures of my kids. And no cute quote, but I love it oodles.

Do you know what size frames were used?
ReplyDeleteSandra, these were probably 5x7 and 6x6 frames, but I think the frame you use will depend a lot on how large the clock hands are.
ReplyDeleteThis is an amazing idea! Thanks so much 4 sharing. I wanna try to do this after my new home is built..luv it ! : )
ReplyDeleteThis is an amazing idea.! Thank you so much 4 sharing. I want 2 try 2 do something like this after my new home is finished being built.. Love it! =o)
ReplyDeleteI am trying to make this project (specifically the one on the red wall)--do you know where to get the clock mechanism/hands? I have looked and looked with no luck, but it's probably because I have no idea what to type into the google search! PLEASE HELP???? Thank you!
ReplyDeleteWhat's the spacing between the pictures (from 12 to 6 and 9 to 3). thank
ReplyDeletemillsfarmfamily@aol.com
Laura, look on Amazon.com for a karlsson movement. That's where I got mine. Now I need to know the spacing. I have worked all afternoon and it still isn't right. I started with the 12, 3, 6 & 9 and those look good but I can't get the other frames to look right, ie the same distance from the minute hand. If anyone has a template or idea on how to do this, let me know, please!!!
