Inspiration For a DIY Driftwood Clock

Heart-eyed emoji! If you’re wondering if you’ve seen this big piece of driftwood before, probably yes. It was the star of one of the first projects I featured on this blog back in 2010, and one of the few pieces of driftwood I’ve held onto over the years. I’ve rid myself of a lot of our excess, so that’s really saying something. Though we used it as a centerpiece accent in our old house, it has been untouched since, kind of awaiting its opportunity to shine with an intended purpose. When you find the perfect project for one of your treasures, it’s kind of a magical day, so I wanted to share this here. This clock also uses found pieces from our beach glass collection (and though we stopped adding to it, there are still several thousand pieces awaiting their turn in the spotlight).

I included this DIY clock–and 7 other easy DIY ideas–in a new photo gallery on HGTV.com.
