Etsy Item of the Week: Dad's Old Hubcap

1972-74 Dodge Challenger Dart Hubcap Clock from Etsy User 8milecreekdesigns.

Welcome to the first week of our new series where we find the quirkiest ideas from the crafter treasure trove that is Etsy.

We’ll admit that the 3 Rs can be boring sometimes. (Hey, we’ve been learning about them since elementary school.) So, that’s why we always love a good DIY project or inspired craft to make recycling and reusing tangible.

In celebration of Father’s Day, we’re featuring Etsy user 8milecreekdesigns’s hubcap clock. Perfect for Dad’s office, this clock is made from a 1972-74 Dodge Challenger Dart hubcap. It has a few tings and dints for true character, and best of all, the item is made by the Etsy user’s own dad.

This particular clock has a $45 price tag, but you can find other hubcaps in different makes, models and sizes on 8milecreekdesigns’s Etsy page.
