I love creating new things! Especially when I can refurbish something like this broken clock that I transformed into this BEAUTIFUL Bird wall hanging!
Supplies
• Clock from Resale shop ( this one was broken so they actually surprised me and gave it to me for FREE) it would of been only $2 if it did work which is an awesome deal!
• Any type of print you want to use .
You can find many choices on Etsy or even Pinterest.
This digital print I did purchase on Etsy
• newspaper print tissue paper I purchased from Hobby Lobby you can also use book pages.
• paper flowers I sell in my Etsy shop I'll drop the link below
• Trim that I made for embellishment. I'll drop the link for the mold I used below.
• Chalkpaint
• Rub n Buff Gold Leaf
I went ahead and wiped down my clock .
I then went ahead and took my clock apart.
I took the hands off ( keep those for other projects)
I peeled off the paper with the clock face on it .
I then gathered a hymnal that I had already coffee stained.. ( In The Garden )
I did purchase on Etsy I'll drop a link below .
I also had coffee stain my Bird print too!
I set those aside while I worked on the wood frame .
I took some Elmers glue and spread it on the frame this will give you a crackle effect.
I then used my Chalk paint Home decor Grey .
Put the glue on the frame then brush on the paint .....always going in one direction only.
Once it drys you will get this beautiful crackle effect!
I then set the frame aside and took my tissue paper and applied it to the face of the clock .
I used my Elmer's glue to apply it . You can also use Mod Podge if you like either one works just as well!
I then applied my Hymnal the same way .
I did tear the edge of it before I put it down .
Then I went ahead and applied my bird .
I tore it also .... so it wouldn't cover all the wording on my hymnal.
I then took some left over paper that had a decorative print on it from my bird print and applied it as well . It was to pretty not to use !
I took my watercolor paint and lightly gave my bird a little more color .
He looks so pretty!
I took my Rub n Buff and very lightly applied some on the gold trim and also on my wood frame .
I used my finger to apply it .
You just need very little...
While that was drying I did take a little Brown paint ( I used Burnt Umber) and distressed the picture a little ..
I just love how this frame came out !
All that crackle goodness! 😀
I went ahead and took my trim that I had made a while back and added it to the frame once I put the clock back together!
I also added my flowers that I carry in my Etsy Shop!
Look how beautiful this came out!
I hope you keep your eyes peeled for these wonderful clocks that you can bring back to life !
