The Photo Clock.



D.I.Y. Decorating Tip No.3



Catch the eyes of your visitors with some of your clan's favorite moments with this bright DIY wall clock.

Bring together:
13 frames, sizes 2" x 3" to 4" x 6" (unify mismatched frames with chalkboard paint, available at Bunnings, or any other hardware store, you just need to buy a sample tin)

12 photos

a clock kit (from a crafts store)

white paper and cardboard (to hide clock mechanism).


Pop snapshots into 12 frames. Take out the remaining frame's glass; use it as a guide to cut cardboard and paper to fit, and place in frame. Poke a hole through center to fit the clock's spindle. Push spindle through; reattach the clock's hands. Hang as shown.

You could also do the with any pictures you like:
Vintage garden seed packets,
Woodland animals,
or frame up some pressed flowers or feathers.
