Diy Clock Makeover

Patterned clock makeover

https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/diy-clock-makeover • Posted by One O.

Last week, probably because of a small fit of madness, I have revolutionized my bedroom, cleaning everything and moving furniture ( I now have my desk facing the window so I can enjoy as much natural light as possible. I can’t explain how this has made my work more enjoyable! ). Anyway, in the middle of my “desperate housewife” madness I found an old clock. It was in excellent condition, but definitely too infantile … so I decided to transform it and give it new life!

Last week, probably because of a small fit of madness, I have revolutionized my bedroom, cleaning everything and moving furniture ( I now have my desk facing the window so I can enjoy as much natural light as possible. I can’t explain how this has made my work more enjoyable! ). Anyway, in the middle of my “desperate housewife” madness I found an old clock. It was in excellent condition, but definitely too infantile … so I decided to transform it and give it new life!

Instructions

  1. Small 101512 2f2014 05 03 170613 22

    Start by disassembling the watch so that you can easily work on each piece.

  2. Small 101512 2f2014 05 03 170627 31

    Then prepare the frame sanding it a bit ‘ and spray paint with every colour you want (as you alredy know at this point I always feel like a kid in a Candy shop! ^_^ ).

  3. Small 101512 2f2014 05 03 170706 3bis

    spray paint

  4. Small 101512 2f2014 05 03 170719 41

    While drying, mark the outline of the glass and cut your colorful paper . I have checked that the measures were correct ( and trimmed a bit my circle).

  5. Small 101512 2f2014 05 03 170749 62

    Then glued it in place.

  6. Small 101512 2f2014 05 03 170755 71

    At this point you can decide whether to mark the hours with numbers or lines . I decided to go minimal so no marks for me! I made a little hole for the hands.

  7. Small 101512 2f2014 05 03 170831 81

    Reassembled everything and voila, you are done!
