I think that actually is a cool idea bro!

I just did a clock and posted my picture in the thread of thebayratt who originally gave me the idea ..... Check it out to maybe give you an idea of how these bands look when they are staggered and overlapping. (scroll to bottom of thread to see the one I did)

Once thing though is your glue.... if you use a standard glue that is not acid free and apply it to paper bands like these they turn yellow and look horrible over time.

Plus I would make the all run horizontal .... seems like when they all run that way and overlap they look real nice.

I do love the idea though!!!

A very kind BOTL on here sent me a large envelope of his old cigar bands and I have a lot left.... I will be watching to see how yours turns out and I may order a cheap 25-5- count box to do one of these myself.

Can't wait to see the progress.

That clock looks awesome. I think i'm going to try to play tetris with this one and see how it turns out. I'm hoping that since they are all going to be 90 degrees from one another I will achieve the same kind of look. if it turns out horrible, i can always do another one. I've got a couple of things lying around that are just screaming to be covered with cigar bands.
