Christmas clock for $5.99

Back in August Real Deals in Tooele was having a Parking lot sale, where some

of their items were marked down 60% off the lowest price marked.

So I found one of those decor clocks that sale for around $40.00 in the 60% area.

It was a only lonely clock that the glass had a crack in it.

It was marked $9.99 with 60% off made it $3.99. So I picked it up

and brought it home figuring it would be a project for Christmas.

It was the week before Christmas when I remembered I was going to give

the clock to Shauna for Christmas. I went downstairs in my junk room

unburied it and brought it upstairs and took it apart.

I bent the metal hooks straight, taking off the back of the clock to get to

the glass. I took the glass out and put both pieces into a book so I could

take it downtown to find a new piece of glass without breaking the glass

more and also so I wouldn't cut myself

I originally was going to take it to our local glass company .....figuring

it would be more expensive ....I decided that

I would check our local DI first and if they didn't have anything go to Walmart

and see if they had a clock with a piece of glass the same size as the broken piece.

I went to the electronic area in our DI

and there were 3 clocks to choose from,

the first one was to big, the second one I thought would fit and the third was way to small....laugh....

pulling out the glass out of the book I tried fitting it on top of the 2nd clock

I smiled and picked up

my new find and headed to the register to pay for it.

The clock that was just right

(and only $2.00)

Broken piece out of the original clock



I cleaned up the glass and put it in the new clock,
put some batteries in it and set the time and
she looked good as NEW:)


By the way Shauna just loved her clock
I got "No way this is one of those cool clocks" as she was unwrapping it.

$3.99 original cost, $2.00 for old clock/glass = $5.99 total cost.
