While strolling through Target one day clearance shopping (yes, I hit up all the clearance aisles too often!), I saw this cute little clock and knew I could do something with it..and for $2.75, I snatched it right up!
Fun, right?! Pleating is such a fun and easy way to add some visual interest to all kinds of things (even clocks!)
I cut some cardboard to go on the outside of the clock to give me a place to glue down my largest pleated fabric. I cut the back out so I could still hang the clock, change batteries, etc. Then I glued down the clock and then started with the pleats! Once I got it arranged just how I wanted it, I simply glued them down and voila..a fun and personalized clock! I also designed up a quick clock face to match the fabric and put that on the clock.
That is just super cute!
I love this. Too bad I didn’t think of it a few years ago when I finally threw away a clock that had been through much. We’d had it since our wedding, it was a simple little clock, but was cracked and worn. I could’ve revived it with ruffles. :) Going to check out the thrift store for a working clock that needs ruffles.
omg this is one of the most amazing ideas I saw lately!!! what a great clock!!!!!!!! i love this idea! ;o
excellent pleating
The pleats are awesome but I really love how you changed the face of the clock as well—so much cuter!
