When we first moved into our house 6 years ago...the big clocks were "in style" and I really wanted one with all the new wall space I had!!! However, my cheapo self couldn't bare to part with my money. I figured I could make one pretty easy. It was def a work in progress...but I went to home depot...got a $10 round precut board and took a look at some tiles in the tile section (I origianlly thought I wanted rocks for the minutes but found these tiles instead). Came home...got out all my old paints...had some crackle paint and just started experimenting. This is how it turned out. I just used Gorilla glue to glue on the tiles. This was made before the days of all the fabulous decals...the numbers would have been much better if I hadn't done them by hand with a homemade stencil. I also had to buy the hands from a specialty store online so it would keep the correct time. I think the clock kit itself only cost about $7. So I figured I saved myself about 50 dollars making this myself.
