Today I thought I would share my clock redo in case you missed my swap with Fingerprints on the Fridge. I LOVE it! Its so simple and fun. It is also great because it can be made to fit any style.
I loved this clock and immediately went in search of my own treasure. I found this one at the thrift store for $2
I removed the clock from the frame and used tape around the edges to protect the glass while I painted.
I used about three coats of black paint and peeled off the tape.
I traced around the clock face on the back of scrapbook paper and cut it out.
I then drew a circle for the hands and cut it out.
I carefully slid the hands through the hole and attached the paper with a glue stick. I cut out numbers and attached them as well.
Replace your clock face into the frame and you now have a very cute updated clock.
I have been wanting to redo a clock that's been around since my husband and I got married nine years ago. Thanks for the great idea
