(Target Hack) Fabric Covered Clock
 <  Image 1 of 3  > 

I found these clocks near the dollar bins at Target for $2.50, and I knew that I could make something great out of them. I have been wanting to craft some more clocks but with clock kits alone being $7.00 it wasn't in my budget.

What a great idea! I've always wanted to do a clock, but can never find the clock parts. I'm keeping an eye out for cheap clocks!!
