You could decoupage some cardboard with your favourite fabric and make a decorative clock for less than $5
Today I have a wonderful DIY tutorial for you to make! Perfect for people who love to recycle.
How to:
Make some small cuts on the edge of the fabric the whole way around. Then cover your cardboard with decoupage glue, lay your fabric down and smooth out the fabric.

Laura Benavidez on Jun 27, 2016Oh my gosh, what a totally ingenious idea! I've been wanting to buy a large click for some empty wall space I have but they're so very expensive! With this idea, I can customize it to whatever size I want and decorate it to match my decor. Has anyone tried using wallpaper? I bought some remnants at a garage sale recently for very cheap, I bet it would add to the stability. Thank you so much for sharing this idea, you just saved me a lot of money!

Very pretty project. Please tell me how you hung this clock to a wall since it doesn’t look like it has a solid back. Thanks!
