DIY Vintage Teacup Clocks

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Project Turns Fine China Into a Time Piece

— June 29, 2013 — Tech
This vintage teacup clock project displays collectible teacups in an interesting way. In fact, this DIY takes glassware that would normally be locked away in a cupboard and puts it out in the open for everyone to see. This vintage teacup clock looks great in a small kitchen or over a book case in a reading room. Making your own projects is rewarding, especially when they turn out with so much personality and class.

If you want to make your own vintage teacup clock, you need to be willing to part with your teacups because after making this project, your cups will be secured to the wall. However, if your teacups have sentimental value, you can always find extras at a thrift store.
