Vintage Suitcase Clock

Vintage Suitcases.

That's the theme this week for the Saturday Nite Special party hosted by Donna @ Funky Junk Interiors.

I love old suitcases and have them stacked in various spots around my house.

Last March I turned one of the vintage suitcases into a clock and I thought I would re-post some pictures of it for tonight's link party.

This is the rather beat-up suitcase I started with.

I took an old clock face and a rusty metal gear,

And glued both pieces to the front of the suitcase.  I then glued some chipboard numbers on top of the gear.

Using the hole in the clock face as my guide, I drilled a hole in the suitcase and added the clock movement.

I also added some luggage labels to hide some of the flaws on the outside of the suitcase.

Don't forget to turn your clocks back tonight!!
