Scrapped Clock!

I always wanted to do a clock. I had found this old dusty discount clock at our neighbourhood Zellers (kind of like Kmart I guess). I think I paid less that $5 and the original price on it was about $30. I think I got quite a bargain!! I used a sheet of paper from the Once Upon a Time DCWV stack. It took me forever to pick out just the right sheet, It needed to look just right in my house. I took apart the mechanism and traced around the edge of the clock on the sheet of paper I picked out. I cut it out just past the edge and once I glued it on {you can use Modge Podge} I used an Emery board [nail file] to smooth out the edges. The edges of the clock were already painted black so that fit perfect. I stamped the numbers with a stamp set from CTMH and let me tell you how hard that was. I am not a hundred percent on the outcome of the stamping but oh well. I added some gold leaf paint to some of the details in the picture and around the edge and re-attached the mechanism. I added a battery and hung it on the wall.

Unfortunately it has never been able to tell time. lol. That is what I get for buying a discount clock. Maybe someday I will replace the clock works and then I will be able to enjoy it more.

Come again soon, I am working on my first tutorial!!
