My boys have a large United States map mural in their room. I have been wanting to do something fun with the space, so I headed over to Dollar General to see what I could find in their home decor section…
I found (4) clocks, a lamp base, a lamp shade and a basket – all for under $30!
These 9 inch wall clocks are a steal at $4 each and perfect for a time zone display.
This lamp was another great deal from Dollar General! I spent $12 total on the the lamp base and the lamp shade.
Dollar General has lots of storage baskets in all sizes. This one was only $1. Seriously how could I say no?!
I’ve created a free printable of the time zones if you want to recreate my U.S. time zone clock display. I printed out mine on kraft colored paper.

I mounted my printable on foam board.
I used rubber cement to adhere the paper to the foam board.
And then I used an x-acto knife to cut out my time zone signs. And used Command Strips (also found at Dollar General) to hang the signs.
The boys love their updated space, and I love how inexpensive it was to the create it!
I originally had the clocks running, but the ticking was too much for the boys at night. We ended up just leaving the clocks stationary… Go create something!
Great idea! I can’t believe the price!
How did you mount the poster on the wall?
