I love giving handmade gifts! I made this for my sister in law as part of our Secret Santa exchange, since it was so cheap to make…I also threw in a $25 gift card to her favorite restaurant. She actually cheated the family SS exchange and handed me her name since she had a broken clock in her storage that she wanted to upcycle into an address sign for her front porch. Clever girl. Made my gift easy (; Here’s how you can make a diy address sign.
All I did was unscrew the backing from clock. The glass is already tightly secured into place so all you need to do is wipe it clean so your vinyl lettering will stick well to it. I created the image using my vinyl lettering program, cut it out then transferred it to the glass.
Way too easy and my sister in law loved it! Nothing beats custom! In case you’re wondering why it says “House of Payne” no, it’s not after the old group…Payne is our maiden name aka my sil’s married name and they have 7 kids so it’s a cute nickname for their family.
I love how it turned out. So next time your clock breaks, think about using that cute circle frame to upcycle it!
We love to upcycle. Take a looksie at a few of our past trash-to-treasure pieces:

It’s an EnduraCut Plus with a VE LXi program. We used to sell vinyl but now refer friends to sassy.sites@hotmail.com I think a silhouette or cricuit could do the same thing?

That is so cute! You really have my creative juices flowing with this one and I didn’t even know I had any….
It would be so cute to do a girly version for my girl’s room. Although I’d have to come upon a clock…
Pinning for later!

Makes me want to go and break one of my clocks! (no. not really. sorta) You did a great job getting it lined up & centered so nicely with the frame still on the glass.

Awesome! What a way to upcycle! I will have to use my cutting machine and make one of these to showcase in my magazine. Maybe an article on reuse/recycle. Great job!
