Are you looking for a creative way to add some unique decor to your home? Why not try using folded magazine pages to create stunning clocks and wall art! This DIY project is not only eco-friendly, but also a fun and budget-friendly way to personalize your space.
To get started, all you need is a stack of old magazines, a pair of scissors, a clock mechanism, and some glue. Begin by selecting colorful pages from your magazines and folding them. You can experiment with different folding techniques to create a variety of shapes and designs. The clock featured above was made from long rectangles, each made from an entire page and secured at the end with glue. Slices of bottle corks were used to represent the numbers.
The theme was Italian drinks hence the cutout wine bottle. The coffee cup was the result of a very fortunate accident. It dropped and broke cleanly into half!
Once you have a collection of folded magazine pages, it's time to assemble your clock or wall art. For a clock, simply attach the folded pages to a round piece of cardboard or wood using glue. Then, attach the clock mechanism to the center of the cardboard and hang your unique creation on the wall.
If you prefer to make wall art, arrange the folded magazine pages in a pattern or design of your choice on a larger piece of cardboard or canvas. Once you are happy with the arrangement, secure the pages in place with glue.
Magazine pages can also be rolled to create stunning wall art and clocks. I use a piece of doweling or a straw to,roll the pages round.
The sample below shows the collection of paper rolls ready to start a project on Umbria.
Not only does using folded magazine pages to create clocks and wall art add a pop of color and texture to your home, but it also gives new life to old magazines that might otherwise be thrown out.
Plus, you can customize your creations to suit your personal style and color scheme.
So, next time you're looking to spruce up your living space, consider trying your hand at this DIY project. With just a few simple materials and a little creativity, you can transform old magazines into beautiful and functional decor that will impress your guests and brighten up your home.
