Kids Room Clock!

This is a project that I have been working on for a few months... in my defense a lot has happened in our family during that time... it seemed like I would start this clock and then something would happen... 
So I am very glad that it is finally completed!

I picked up this clock at the Sally Ann back in the spring, knowing I wanted to do exactly this project!
Not so cute hey...

So I turned it into this!
(I thought that I had pictures of this progress but it seems that I just have the before and after... oops. I know I'm a bad bad craft blogger... oh well ha ha)
I started by painting it green it took about 3 coats to cover up that pink...
Then I took my "high tech" circle templates that I used in this project that I did for the kids room and repeated the pattern I used in that project just a little more scattered...

I added the numbers using my "pencil-picture transfer method" that I use frequently like here (in the Winnie the pooh paintings) and here (on the motorcycle coasters). 
Basically I printed off some numbers I liked, rubbed the back of the paper with a pencil, placed the number on the clock and traced on to the clock. Then you can paint the number or just fill it in with Sharpie like I did which saves a bit of time and can be more precise if you don't have a steady hand...

So my clock turned out GREAT (if you ask me) and Delaney loves it! What I love is it is a brand new clock for $3 and I am able to say "Hey I did that!"!

Have you made over anything fun lately? Do you make the decor for your kids room? I'd love to hear all about it in the comments!

  5. LOVE this! It turned out great. I have an old clock that's been sitting in our basement for some time, and you've inspired me to dig it out and do something fun with it! :)
