Cheap-o Clock Redo

I am sorry it's been ages since my last post! But I PROMISE, I've got lots of things stirring for the next couple of weeks.

I'm sure you all have one of these clocks somewhere. This particular one was $3.00 at Walmart that I bought back when we lived in an apartment and I refused to spend money on anything til we moved into the new house. The plan was to replace it, but I just never found the right one... so of course I just gave it a makeover :)

First, I took apart the original. This is probably not the safest way to do it, but it worked!

The back just pops out and then you can take the hands off of the front. I spray painted mine with some ORB spray paint, but if you do make sure to let it dry for a couple of days or the hands will stick together.

I spray primed the clock before spray painting it. Don't skip this step otherwise the spray paint just runs right off the cheap-o plastic. It took a couple of coats and I added a sealer at the end.

I took off the original face of the clock and attached strips of a post it note that I cut up.
(I know, I'm getting real ghetto here!)

I traced a circle onto my scrapbook paper and cut it out. Then I laid it over my original so I could see where the numbers are supposed to go.

Next, I glued numbers that I cut out from my Cricut (storybook cartridge).

Once I put it all back together I carefully inserted the plastic piece. Some of the edges scraped a bit so I'll have to go back and touch that up later! {impatient me hates that}

This was REALLY hard to take pictures of so I am so sorry about my dark, artificial light filled pictures!

Here our clock is in it's new home!

Decorating my bathroom has been a slow process, so don't judge my sparse wall. However, I am almost done with it and will be doing a reveal soon!!

 I promise to have some good stuff up here again soon..Wanna Hint? We went from 70 degree weather last week and today woke up to our first snowfall... of 8 inches of snow! Yup, you guessed it.. the house is being Christmas-fied! :)

And on an unrelated note, I turned my head for one single second and my little sneaker struck again.

She sure does love her people food! Have a great Sunday!!
