Making a Record Clock

I am trying to be creative and make as many of my gifts as I can this year. I have lots of plans, but we will see how many I will actually make! The first one I made this year was a record clock. I was looking up ideas online, spent a lot of time googling “home made gifts”, and this was one I saw that looked simple.



Record clock

You will need:


1 record
1 clock
glue gun
Picture hanger

Also using the glue gun I attached a picture hanger to the top back and the clock so that it is easy to fasten it to the wall. Pretty easy and looks good. You could add numbers to the clock if you wanted. I think this is a good gift for a guy or a student.

 

I picked up some old records and a thrift store and then I tried a few different discount stores to find a clock with hands that I liked and that was reasonably priced. I took the clock a part keeping only the hands and the motor. Using my glue gun I attached the motor to the back side of the record and then reattached the hands.
