I love clocks !
I have a few in every room , I can always fit another clock somewhere.
Although they don't really help because I never have enough time
and I am never on time either .
This ugly glass one was one I picked up from a garage sale .
It's a clock of course I brought it home with me .
Anyway no matter how much I like clocks this one was really blah !
So I took the clock pieces and hands off and
brushed on a lot of Mod Podge and lay
it down on some pretty fabric .
Then I trimmed around it with a scalpel
and brushed more Mod Podge over the top .
I cleverly used clips to show me where to use my marks
(I still didn't put them on straight but I know what time it means )
and then I just used a hot glue gun to glue buttons on.
Much nicer now , don't you think ?
I even have a board on pinterest just for clocks , a bit obsessed maybe ..
You could make your own clock the same way by covering a mdf placemat
from craft stores and drilling a hole for the clock workings .
Whatever you do with your time have a great weekend !

What a great idea, Clare. You made it look great. I'm a clock-o-holic too ... don't know what it is about them but I just can't seem to help myself. You have certainly given me some ideas with this one. Thank you :)
Great idea! I have a pinterest board with just clocks too. We'll have to compare :) I also have a crafty clock idea, but it's a while down the track I think...
Now that looks more like you Clare. I have to admit to having a bit of a clock fetish too!!
Oh so much prettier...clever idea...
Thats so cute....would be perfect addition in my sewing room!
I love clocks too, probably dont have as many as you though ;)
I have to have one next to my bed ticking away.

Thanks for sharing, I will check out your pinterest clock page too.
