A Clock Fit for a Crafter
I’ve been wanting a clock in my craft room, but I wanted something a little different, and something that would actually coordinate with my space. I decided to make my own clock, but I had no idea what to make it with. A trip to Michael’s had me walking out with this stuff.
-
- Clock hardware, plus larger hands, a package of numbers, 4 4″x4″ canvases.
-
- I painted the canvases, including one larger 5″x5″ one I already had a bright cheery turquoise color.
-
- The numbers 3, 6, 9, and 12 were applied to the 4 smaller canvases with E6000.
-
- I had to use the Dremel to gouge out some of the wood to make my clock case fit into the larger canvas. Its not pretty but it worked perfectly.
-
- The finished clock, mounted on my wall. The 3 is a little crooked though. I’ll have to rehang it.
This ended up being a super fast project, taking about an hour, and most of that time was spent waiting for the paint to dry. And if I ever repainted my craft room, I could easily repaint the canvases to match.
