With our guest room taking on a new roll as the nursery, Ken and I have been busy adding guest room functionality to my blog room. It’s like musical rooms around here right now: a little chaotic, but mostly just fun. The blog/guest room transformation will be revealed next month, but in the meantime, I wanted to share this little plate clock DIY I created for the space. It’s made from a Suite One Studio dessert plate (Love her work so much I decided to hang it on the wall!) and the premise of the project is pretty much just attaching a clock mechanism to the plate. Believe me you got this! As you guys have probably heard me say before, the trick to DIY-ing isn’t having the best knowledge or skills (I mostly learn along the way), it’s more about picking inherently cool materials from the start so minimal effort is needed along the way in order to end up with a cool piece in the end. Hop on over to Sugar & Cloth for the tutorial on how to make this time-telling gem! Follow

Add the clock kit: Place the wood plate on top of the battery piece, so that the white protruding part of the mechanism fits into the drilled hole, and is poking up on the face of the clock. Place metal washer onto the protruding white mechanism.Then screw on the nut. Peel back the film on the clock hands. Place clock hands over top of the nut and […]
