I love reusing junk from around my house to make interesting clocks. I’ve been making a lot lately with catalogs and magazines that we get in the mail – most un-asked-for. My latest clock I made by folding IKEA catalog pages accordion-style, then gluing them to a wooden disk. I spray painted the whole thing with a few layers of white paint to unify it. I was contemplating painting it all-white, to create dimension just from the accordion pleats, but eventually I decided I liked it as-is. This one is for sale in my etsy shop.
This clock is absoloutly wonderful.. Good job
this clock is utterly awesome… tutorials anywhere?
Glad you like it!
No tutorial yet – at some point I may write one up. It’s pretty straightforward – accordion-fold 12 sheets of magazine (or paper), then pinch one end of each and glue to a wooden disc (or cardboard circle). Just make sure to leave a hole for the clock shaft!

Centering a large bow on your mantel garland is a good way to capitalize on the attraction of symmetrical décor on a naturally symmetrical feature.
