Repurposed Brand New Clock
I'm repurposing my brand new clock today...
I just loved it... but it didn't work. The mechanism was broken.
Happily, the company returned my money the minute I mentioned the problem.
They told me to keep the clock and to "make something out of it".
Hahaha they must know me!
So I did... I took the clock apart.
These are the two pieces I was left with and now I'm loving both of them!
The metal frame was awesome...
I cut out a circle of cork the same size as the inner circle of the metal frame.
Using E6000 I glued the cork to the inner circle then lined it with a length of repurposed rope.
What happened to the rest of the clock you ask?
I originally bought it for my gallery wall and the fact that it no longer works didn't matter a bit!
I have no shortage of clocks in this house...
they are something I have a serious problem hoarding.

"Make something"?? They DO know you!! Love them both :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a two-fer, fer-sure, plus you got a re-fund.
ReplyDeleteI have a problem with clocks, Susan! I have them all over our home. I really love the looks of this one. I love how you were able to get two things out of the one clock. It looks great in your gallery wall. I also used a non-working big clock in our entry gallery wall.
ReplyDeleteVery cool! I love what you did with the metal piece.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. I saw a similar one in Homesense that was broken. Argh! I should have grabbed it.
ReplyDeleteI love the clock a lot more "broken". :) it looks great on your wall.

So smart of you! I once had a company tell me to keep some ruffle fabric and refunded me. I don't quite remember the reason I wanted to return it but I do remember the stellar customer service!

ReplyDeleteI love what you did with both pieces of the clock! Really wonderful, Susan!
