Personalized Wall Clocks -- The Clocks That Say, "ME" All Over
Everyone, I think, is basically an egotist at heart. We all enjoy seeing our names up in neon lights, so to speak. Deep within us lays that desire to express just how unique we are. Personalized wall clocks cater to this desire -- personalized wall clocks make it possible to have something in our home that expresses, communicates something about our individuality. In this brief article I would like to outline some ways that you can create a personalized wall clock (or have one created for you).
Personalized Wall Clocks And Your PC
Do you have a computer at home? Then you can create a great personalized wall clock. There is special software that you can buy that will allow you to lay out a clock face with whatever design, pictures, text you desire. You simply print out the clock face on your printer, and fit it into a specially-designed clock with a blank clock face. Lacking this software, you can simply print out a design or pattern -- perhaps even some family photos! -- and then cut it to fit in the clock face.
Personalized Wall Clocks -- In Wood If you are good at woodworking (or know someone who is) you can have your name, your family's name, child's name or pet name carved into wood, plastic or metal. If you like wood, you can use a router (or rent one) to make specially-designed lettering in wood. You can buy clockwork mechanisms to install, and you will have a truly personalized wall clock. A Picture Is Worth. . . They say that a picture is worth a thousand words. Well, you can make a great personalized wall clock from a picture frame. You can enclose any picture you want in the frame -- perhaps your beloved spouse or child -- attach the clockwork mechanism on the back, with hands in the front (they are very inexpensive), and voila! You will have a great personalized wall clock. I Never Get Tired of Tile (Clocks) Some of the most beautiful personalized wall clocks I have ever seen have been made from beautiful squares of tile to which a mechanism was attached. If you like, you can even have your child paint a design or picture on it, then have it fired in a kiln. After installation of the clock works, you will have a personalized wall clock that you will treasure for years to come. If Your Faith Is Important To You If your religious faith -- or perhaps non-profit volunteer work -- is important to you, then you can make a nice personalized wall clock. You can select your own favorite religious symbol, or religious depiction for the clock face. Or you might just want to use a picture of your church, synagogue, or volunteer group for the clock face. Every time you look at this personalized wall clock you will be reminded of the values, teachings and people that are important to you. As you can see, you have a lot of options if you want to make personalized wall clocks. The materials don't have to cost a lot - even if you give them as gifts, it's the thought that counts, and the memories they bring back, that makes personalized wall clocks one of the most thoughtful gifts you can give -- even to yourself!
