So I’m not totally comfortable saying this clock kit will for sure fit any record. This clock kit also has a pretty long shaft so had it fit all the way through the record, the hands wouldn’t have been in the right place anyway. I was able to stick part of the threaded part of the clock kit through the center of the record just enough to attach the hands but I did not use the washers and nut that came with it. Note: Ok, so the clock kit I purchased just so happened to fit through the hole in the middle of my vintage LP record. My clock kit not have a hanger on the back (some do) so I simply hot glued a sawtooth picture hanger to the back of it. It seriously took about 5 minutes and it’s so cute! Here’s how I did it!Ĭlock kit (this is the one I purchased, read the tutorial for my opinion on it…)ġ. So I asked AA for an older record he wasn’t going to listen to and put together this super quick Record Clock. Granted they still have the IKEA labels inside, but at least they’re up, right? Something about having frames on the wall instantly made it look so much more like an actual room.Īnyway, the one thing we were missing down there was a clock. And then, once we finally got everything in place, I took a big pile of frames I had sitting around and hung them up.

We put the tv up on the wall, got some new shelving and AA took the time to keep the cords organized when he re-hooked up his stereo and record player and speakers. One half play area, one half stereo, tv & family room area. So this weekend, we floated the couch in the middle and basically turned it into two rooms.

When we first moved in, we pretty much dumped any furniture that we didn’t know what to do with down there plus most of O’s toys and it was just a mess. But until we tackle the floor (ugh)it’s definitely looking sooo much better. We have area rugs and the room is otherwise finished with drywall and trim and everything, but it still needs some work. Maybe once they have their time telling down pat.Make your own record clock from an old LP!Ī couple weekends ago, we completely rearranged/re-did our basement playroom (aka “the man cave”) This room still has a long way to go since we ripped out the carpet before we moved in but then didn’t have time to do anything besides paint the concrete. Preschool? Amazing what they can absorb.Īnd hey, I might even like this enough to actually transform it into a real live working clock.
He knew that the big hand stayed on the 12 when on the hour and neither A or I knew just how he knew this.

Maybe if I had had a song in grade school about time (and dare I say a Duct tape play clock?) I might not have waited until an embarrassing age to actually internalize it all.Īnd then Little O blew us both away by sharing his knowledge of how to tell time. He then proceeded to sing a song about how to tell time.
He was very excited to demonstrate how when it’s half past the hour, the big hand is actually half way between the numbers. I then proceeded to cut the numbers from various colored duct tape.Īnd as soon as the clock was finished, A couldn’t wait to show off his mad time-telling skills, so we got to it right away. After punching a hole through the hands and the middle of the clock, we attached the hands to the clock with a brad. We then cut a few hands for the clock from a previous discarded box.
To make the play clock we started with a discarded cardboard pizza circle which we then covered in duct tape (if yours doesn’t have any grease spots, you might even opt to leave it as is without any tape). And what do you know, it’s actually working. So I thought the only natural thing to do was to create a play clock for him to practice on, and in turn, teach his younger brother a thing or two about telling time. He has really been enjoying it and comes home with work sheets showing me how it all comes together. A has been learning how to tell time by using clocks.
