Design your own fancy clock

A few weeks ago, late one night I was woken up by a loud thud only to find that the clock near the dining table had crashed onto the floor. The glass had shattered into a hundred little pieces and the wooden frame that gave it its antique look was broken too.

 

Ever had a clock fall off the wall? The next time that happens, you may want to take it as an opportunity for an art and craft project.
Here's what you can do:

1. Remove the clock hands (it's usually clipped on to or screwed into a little box (the clock's motor with the battery and all) behind the clock.
2. Run to the art store and pick up some canvas
3. Make a hole right in the middle of one
4. Do a painting on it
5. Fix the clock's motor to the back of the canvas and the hands, to the front and Voila! You have a one-of-a-kind  of clock-cum-artwork.

At the end of it, your original clock might look a little crippled; that doesn't matter, it's going to the dumpster.

PS: I suggest you choose a simple picture or design. If you have too much going on or dark colours in the background, you won't be able to see the hands of the clock from a distance.
