Antique Door Handle Clock
Happy Monday Everyone! I have been quite the busy lady in my
craft room recently! I’m creating some great new things for the upcoming craft
show next month. It’s hard to tell what
will sell well and what will not, so I am making a WIDE variety of things. This
little beauty is one I am most proud of.
It is a fully functional pendulum clock made from an old
door handle and barn wood my in-laws graciously allowed me take from the farm. I am always coming across antique door handles
and plates at flea markets and thought they might make for a unique wall hanging. While I was at it, I thought to myself “I bet I could make that into a clock somehow.”
Sure enough… a few broken drill bits
later, (sorry again honey) it all came together! I tied it all together by swapping
out the round pendulum for a skeleton key. So far I have made three, but this
one in particular is my favorite. I was
planning on selling it, but I’m not so sure now…, it’s looking pretty cozy up
there on my wall. :) I hope you like it! And as always, thanks for stopping by!
