1970's PURPLE WIND-UP TWIN BELL CLAPPER ALARM CLOCK FROM BRADLEY - RING-A-LING!!

Here's the Purple Alarm Clock that goes with our post on The Perfect 70's Kid's room.  

This great 'low-tech' manual, wind-up alarm clock was made by the Bradley Clock Company in the 1970's.

This free-standing clock stood about 4.5 inches high and had glow-in-the-dark hands and hour markers.  

The alarm sounds with a brass clapper that strikes each bell on top of the clock.

Luckily, this feature can also be (manually) turned off by turning the clapper guard on the top - which is also how you turn off the alarm once it has sounded.

There's nothing like waking up to a fun, purple clock! 

DON'T FORGET YOUR TIE-DYE TEE SHIRT!

It's totally retro and fun to make your own tie-dyed t-shirt!  - 

 

Tie-dyeing is accomplished by folding material of a garment into a pattern (such as concentric circles), and binding it with string or rubber bands. Dye is then applied to only parts of the material. The ties prevent the entire material from being dyed.

Designs are formed by applying different colors of dyes to different sections of the wet fabric. A wet t-shirt is much easier to use rather than just dyeing on a dry t-shirt. Once complete, the material is rinsed, and the dye is set.
