So, I saw a tutorial today on making book clocks and it has me all inspired to look up clocks made out of other everyday objects. What better way to upcycle and stay on time?
Love this vintage tray, made into a clock! source
This clock by Umbra is made of teacups and saucers.
It would be easy to make. Any advice on what type of glue would hold best?
The creator dismantled a small travel clock to make this clever ticker. source

ReplyDeleteLove them all! Thanks for including my silverplate tray clock in such a great grouping. :)
ReplyDeleteThat flower plate is FAB! I love vintage dishes!
ReplyDeleteThat tea cup one is amazing too - I would probably try a 2 part epoxy for glue after lightly sanding and cleaning the areas to be glued with an alcohol. If there's a way to clamp them down while the glue sets it would also help make it more secure. I would actually have thought of drilling and using bolts but since you see the bottom of the cup I guess glue would be the only option. The lighter the cups the better:)
