morning all :D
just thought i would post to help out all you stressed out mums that haven't yet made your child's teacher a present and find yourself with no inspiration to do it at all. I was like this yesterday but now... I'M DONE YAY!!
And this is the finished project an altered clock.
So how is it made? First you need to get yourself down to pound land or another shop that sells cheap wall clocks and take it to bits! Mine only cost £1.00 so i wasn't too worried about totally breaking it when i first tried to do this but found it fell apart easy enough with a screwdriver.
Next i used the K&CO Paper flowers set from the shop, but you could easily use primas and other blossoms instead. Again you can get all of these from paperdolls.
Slightly sand the outer frame of the clock and paint in your chosen colour with acrylic paints. And using the flowers and leaves cover all around the edges.
Next all that's left to do is add some gems in the centres of the flowers and decorate the clock face with some patterned paper and more flowers. make sure that the flowers are completely flat for this part so that they do not stop the hands from moving. reassemble and TA TAR you have you teachers present all done. Mine took about 2 hours in total to make all the flowers etc but if you were to use primas this would make it so much quicker.
So why not have a go and don't forget to send a pic of your creations.
My only trouble is that i like it so much I'm going to have to make another one for myself ;)
