Stuck what to buy for your gamer partner? How about upcycling (Ed: oo’er, fancy word!) that tired old clock you have hanging on the kitchen wall? What a great idea!
Not only will you save money, you will also get a sense of fulfillment by creating something that is uber cool and not to mention feeling proud of your DIY retrogaming time piece hanging in the games room.
OK, let’s get our hands dirty – trust us, this is straight forward and shouldn’t take you too long:
- Find four cool video gaming artworks (try here)
- Take old clock
- Stick background images together (leave one join open)
- Slide onto clock face and trace to outline onto the back of the paper. Cut the circle.
- Glue down backing paper, then glue space invaders magnets in place to mark numbers.
- Hang on wall!
