This morning I was sitting in my office wondering what I was going to do for the rest of the day. I saw my broken clock hanging on the wall, which I had been thinking was in need of a face lift.
I bought this clock on clearance at Kmart a while ago. It has broken since and was staying together with duct tape. I almost sold it at our recent yard sale but resisted with the intention of fixing it up.
I didn't want to spend any money, or go to the store, so I found the materials around the house: a bed sheet I bought at D.I. a while back, left over spray paint, Modge Podge, and cardboard.
The Process:
1. I cut out a piece of cardboard which would easily fit on top of the old clock face
2. Modge Podged the flower fabric onto the card board
3. Spray painted the circular frame
4. Place the now fabric cardboard piece in the clock, screwed the clock pieces in
5. Admired my zero-cash new clock on my wall

LOVE IT! You totally talked it down--as always.
ReplyDeleteOk, you have got to open a shop on etsy or something. You can start a whole business out of this before/after stuff. Love the clock!
ReplyDeleteWait a second...you're already back from the GYM? Wow, that was fast! And how did you know to check my blog...I just posted that minutes ago and already you commented. How can I ever keep up. Now for your clock post...how can one person be so creative? I may know how to draw and paint, but I NEVER think of cool ways I can fix up my boring wall accessories and rooms! I admire you! I bet your house never gets boring...
