Hardcover Book Clock DIY
6 Materials
Do you have a bibliophile at your home? Or maybe you're the book lover? Turn a hardcover book into a clock for the avid reader in your life.
Start with a hardcover book. A good place to find one is your local thrift store or resell book shop.
Once you have your book pick a clock mechanism that fits the size of your book cover. I wanted the hands of my clock to not be larger than the book itself.
Cut out the inside book pages to make room for the clock piece that controls the movement and holds the battery.
Once the inside of the book is cut out and the mechanism placed inside you can begin placing the numbers on the outside of the book.
The next step is to attach the hands to the front of the book clock. Finally you will set the correct time for your new clock.
