I went to Goodwill a couple of weeks ago to find some flannel shirts to make some fall pillows. It took me 10 minutes just to find a parking spot! I struck out on the shirts but as I was waiting in line I spied a good frame.
unfortunately it had this really cool suede print of a dog in it. Ivy kept saying "ahhh how cute!". Little did she know that the dog had to go. I love the shape of the frame though so the dog came home with us. It sat for a couple of weeks until I finally decided to make a clock with it.
First I took the dog print out, then sanded and painted the frame with American Accents Canyon Black spray paint.
While the paint dried I used spray glue and covered the dog print with burlap.
I cut out the 12,3,6 and 9 out of some scrap fabric (I'm loving houndstooth right now!) I just wasn't digging the burlap though.
So I switched to the red print which is actually my favorite fabric right now. Its a plaid AND polka dots. My favorites. Anyways. I hot glued the numbers down and marked the center.
I used this clock kit from Michaels and used my 40% off coupon so it was only $3.50.!
I sprayed the hands with some Rustoleum Oil Rubbed Bronze spray paint.
Here it is on the wall. I'm still trying to figure out something to put in the center. I love it though, even if I can see how late it is getting when I'm trying to finish a project now.
How fun! What a great project. I love how whimsical it is!

Wonderful project! I have been wondering what I am going to do when the wall clock we were given for our wedding almost 10 years ago finally dies. Now I know! Thanks. :)
ReplyDeleteSuper cute. I wish I had a room for a clock. No matter where you are we can see either the VCR or the microwave so clocks seem redundant.
ReplyDeleteWowza! Love it!
ReplyDeleteI've been kicking around an idea similar to this for a while. Yours came out GR8!The red really pops. Thanks for inspiring.
