Do you love having a clock to glance at to tell the time? Despite mobile phones and fit bits nothing quite beats a clock on the wall. This cutting board clock is perfect for the kitchen, the time is marked with sea washed broken pieces of tile we found on a family holiday.

Start by thoroughly cleaning you chopping board. My chopping board has a round set back edge which I have highlighted with Rustoleym chalk paint Graphite

Whilst this is drying find an old round lid which is wide enough to cover a clock mechanism (I bought a clock kit). Mark the centre of the lid.

Drill though the lid to create a hole for the spindle to come through.

Spray paint you lid in fine even coats of chalk paint. I used Pinty Plus white chalk paint spray.

If you would like different coloured handles for you clock spray paint them too.

Using a string adhesive add you tile pieces to your cutting board/clock front. I used E6000.

Place your clock mechanism inside the spray painted lid and glue together.

Attach to your clock and add your handles at the correct time. Add a loop of strong string to the back to enable you to hand your clock one the wall.

I love our kitchen clock, perfect that it is upcycled from a cutting board, each time I look at it I am reminded of family holidays.
