...old 45's a time gone by.
It's time to recycle and what better way than to recycle much admired or discarded objects, than into a clock. You can look at it time and time again! It's pretty simple to do, too. A myriad of clock faces and mechanisms can be found at arts and craft shops, hobby shops or from clock part vendors online. You can even recycle an old clock into a new clock! Take an old plug in and convert it to a battery operated.
However, if you aren't crafty, then you can find a upcycled clocks by artisans on Etsy! Here are some clocks I found online that were quite creative and fun to look at. Whether it be a clock made from a vintage sign, a computer part, a favorite car hubcap, there seems to be one for every taste.
It's time to Recycle, and in some cases these clever clocks make time stand still.

It's craft time! This clock made with knitting needles and an old clock. Could work with crochet needles or chopsticks, too!
Time to read. Fun idea made with a clock book...try a children's book..how about one on time!

Time for a ride. Clever clock made from a hubcap, but any car parts would work.
Technological time. This clock made from computer boards and parts...how about numbered keyboard or typewriter keys?

Special times. A great idea to preserve a time you lived or had in another state
Signs of the times. old tins, signage, boxes, any packaging.

Studio time. This one from colored pencils. How about markers, vintage crayons, paintbrushes, paint tubes?
Paper thin time. This clock made with strips of paper...why not decoupage, handmade paper, paper mache, origami, all great recycle crafts!

Time goes round with this bycicle wheel clock . Alternatives? Kids toy wheels or first bike
Obsolete time. Electronic devices can be saved from a landfill by making clocks on them, computer boards, screens, old radios.

Kitchy times. Clock made from a vintage pan - this idea would work on plates, utensils etc

I'll drink to that! A bottle clock makes it drink time. Why not use a favorite soft drink, an old milk bottle, perfume bottle or create a bar clock made from a liquor bottle.
