18 DIY Timepiece Projects

From DIY Doodle Time-Tellers to DIY Drawing Clocks

— June 20, 2013 — Fashion
Keeping track of the time is often essential to carrying out your daily routine with ease and efficiency, but if you're looking to add some humorous and crafty features to your ordinary time-tellers, then these DIY timepiece projects will certainly help you out.

Wall clocks and watches are often a fantastic way to help keep you on schedule with any assignments or errands you have to run, but they often lack any unique visual appearance. These DIY projects however, allow those who enjoy arts and crafts to add some quirky personal touches to these otherwise mundane timepieces, turning them into something completely tailored to your taste.

From wall clocks that have been creatively customized to feature iconic Star Wars references to timepieces made from upcycled video game cartridges, these DIY projects offer homeowners a more enjoyable way to tell the time.
