Yield: 1 clock
Calories:
Cost: $10
Equipment
- Drill
- Paintbrush (unless using spray paint)
Materials
- 1 3-1/2″ x 3-1/2″ (or close) corner block rosette molding piece
- Paint
- Rust Paint Kit or similar spray paint for hands and easel
- Clock kit with mechanism and hands
- Small table-top picture frame easel
Instructions
- Carefully drill a hole (sized to fit clock kit) in the center of the rosette- try not to get too much splintering…sand where needed
- Paint rosette desired color. I gave mine only one coat and then sanded the edges lightly. This is at it’s most simplistic- you could go all out and layer on colors, sanding to reveal the depths. Or not, like me. Your call.
- Paint the shiny brass hands using a rust kit or spray paint (or leave them be if you like)
- Attach the clock mechanism and hands according to the package directions
