DIY Tutorial: Changing the Face of a Clock

I picked up these two clocks yesterday and did a quick transformation on one. 

The other one still looks like this.

The arms slipped off when I tried to take out its insides.

I might have broken it.  It was only $1.50 so I'm not stressin.

I would really like to figure how to pop the insides out of the clock though.

This is how I changed the face of the other clock. 

I took everything apart because I wanted the inside and outside to be black.

I painted both sides of the exterior pieces. 

I removed the face of the clock and used it as a template to trace a prettier background paper. 

Using my light box, I copied the ticks onto a thinner piece of paper. 

(If you don't have a light box you can do this during the sunniest part of the day, 

just hold the papers up against your window and trace away!)

I did this so that the light would shine through both pieces of paper. 

Using the light box, I put the new face on top of the paper I just traced and placed adhesive backed pearls onto each of the ticks. 

Then I put it all back together.  

I love the new look!

I'm participating in Met Monday, Get Your Craft On, Kimba's DIY Day, and Frugal Friday.  Hop on over to see some amazing transformations.
