Recycled Crafts-Clock

Clock From Recycled Materials

Though I recycle so many materials and make many articles, I don't find time to share all of them with you. Here are my previous posts on Recycled Crafts:

This time, I share with you a clock made from recycled materials.
This clock was actually made by my brother and it was entirely his idea except for the face of the clock which is a recycled wedding card.

The clock kit is available in the market which includes the arms of the clock. This one is battery operated. The face of the clock is recycled Wedding Card with Ganesha. Entire card was used as it was sturdy enough. This was my idea. 

The numbers came from an old calender. The face of the clock was covered with acetate sheet. Apart from that, pieces of thermocol  were used as the frame on the back side for sticking the wedding card as well as for hiding the clock machine. 

So this is one way to use the wedding cards.

Pearls Set


Who doesn't like pearls-white and milky.
This neck piece is made of creamy white seed pearls, bigger sized round pearls, gold beads, red and green cut beads. The pendants with matching earrings are made of white stone studded metallic drops with antique finish. 

It was worth all the effort put into it, choosing the materials or assembling them. The design is trendy and not too heavy. It can be worn with most of the dresses or saris. Not too flashy so OK for small parties or gatherings and also for office wear on special occasions.
