DIY Clock Makeover

Posted by Common Sparrows

redo an old clock with this simple tutorial.

1

in your photo editor of choice (I used Inkscape), make a circle. I chose to change the background of my clock's face to white.
2

place a smaller circle inside the circle. set the new circle on the path of the larger circle.
3

scatter inside the circle making sure that their are twelve new small circles (one for each hour).
4

insert sizable numbers in the font you want (I picked Euphoria Script. whoo). Erase the circle outline.
5

print out your new clock face. I printed mine so four would fit to a page and it ended up being the perfect size.
6

disassemble your clock with a screwdriver. [pay close attention to how everything goes together so you can put it back!]
7

carefully remove the hands from the clock's face and retrieve the background.
8

trace the old clock face onto your new design and cut it out. [if it is too big or too small to fit the original face, adjust it and reprint it. you can do it. go you.]
9

paint the hands of the clock and the frame.
10

paint the legs and the bells of the clock. [I used a tissue to cover up the clock as I sprayed the ringer. I was scared tape would mess it up somehow.]
11

after the paint dries, put all the pieces back together.
