DIY Outdoor Wall Clock For The Garden

2 Mins read

This DIY Outdoor Wall Clock was made possible by yet, another dumpster find.

What’s a DIY fanatic to do when she sees a perfectly good table in her neighbor’s dumpster?

Ummmm……… jump in it and grab it, that’s what.

To be more precise, walk inside the HUGE dumpster and roll it out of there and down the street into our garage.

There’s no shame in my game.

I asked the owners where the base to the table was.

Their response: “We just got done demolishing it.”

What?

I don’t understand why people do that! This old table was beautiful and to know the base was intact until they ruined it kills me!

The table has been sitting in my garage since I got it and the other day I decided to pull it out and start working on it.

First, I painted it white.

Then, I dry brushed over the white paint with brown and gray paint.

Next, I painted clock numbers on it.

Now, the clock needed some hands.

I drew some arrows on scrap wood and Hubby cut them out.

I painted them the same gray color I used on the table top.

This clock would look great on the side of a barn, on a garage or as a backdrop in a garden or landscaped yard.

My dumpster dive paid off.

I saved the landfill and gave the kiddos a fun activity to use in the yard. My daughter likes to change the time on the clock as she is serving different meals from her backyard kitchen.

Have you ever dumpster dived? What was the best thing you saved?
