Episode 1:DIY Aesthetic Clock

When I first found a $20 brand new Android tablet all I could think was “Score!”. But to my dismay the tablet only had 1 gb ram and was a locked tablet by an internet provider, not to mention the battery life was absolutely terrible. I quickly realized I couldn't use this tablet for normal day to day activities. So the tablet sat in my basement for about a year. 

Until one day, on Pinterest I saw an aesthetic digital clock. At that moment I knew I had to have one, however my wallet disagreed. Most were over $30, which is an insane amount to spend on a digital clock. So, I decided to DIY the clock myself.

Note: This tutorial can work for Apple products as well, scroll down to follow the specific instructions for Apple products!

What you will need:

For Android:

-Your piece of technology

-Google Play store

For Apple:

Apple device that has an IOS of 12.5 or greater (I used the Iphone 5)

-ClockPhone app or Flip Clock-digital widget

Yes, It is that easy! 

Now that you have all your materials, you can start DIY! The best part of this project is how many old pieces of technology you can flip to create a new useful aesthetic tool that can perfectly fit into your daily life.

For Android:

Unlock your device.

Then, go to the clock app and click “Screen Saver”.

From there you are free to customize your aesthetic clock to fit your needs!

Here is what the final result looked like for me:
