Ever since we moved in to the new house with these giant peaked ceilings, I have wanted to put up some sort of massive wall clock. My only issue with doing that was the price tag. I could get what most big box stores and home goods stores called an “extra large wall clock” which was maybe 24-inches in diameter at a cost of $40 to $60 and the options were limited. I could find larger clocks online and in specialty stores that were much, much larger but also very ornate and very expensive; some in excess of $300. During one of my frequent shopping trips through the world of Amazon, I discovered a DIY option that I found quite appealing. A scalable wall clock with adhesive-mounted numbers and a matching set of clocks works for $20. So I put it on a birthday wish list thinking I would give it a whirl and my wife gifted it to me, knowing how much I had been wanting to do this. This video details my building of this wall clock so others can see how I did it. I have received numerous compliments and comments via my socials and asks of how hard it was and where I got it, so here it is.
The wall clock itself came from Amazon as you already know. The phrase “Time with family is worth every second” I took from an idea sheet that came included with the clock. I used a Cricut Explore Air 2 that I purchased at a local Joann’s Fabrics (I have the blue and no one else sold this color at the time) to cut the vinyl and a roll of transfer tape from Amazon to put it on the wall. Our picture frames came from Michael’s and the vinyl I used came from Hobby Lobby. All links to relevant items are below. I don’t get commission or anything, just sharing the knowledge so you, too, can do it yourself and do it better.
Tools you will need at a bare minimum:
- Tape
- Pencil
Highly recommended for best result possible:
- Tape Measure
- 2-foot level
- 6-inch bullet level
- Hammer
- A few finish nails
- 6-feet string or twine (to make plumb bob)
- Small weight like a socket (to make plumb bob)
