I’ve Been Clocked!

Have you ever felt like you have been bit buy a decorating bug. Maybe the Candle bug…now you can’t get enough of them! Or the Finial bug…now you want to put them every where! Well I'm not sure when but a long time ago I was “Clocked”! I LOVE clocks! I want them EVERY where! Every room in my house has one…and I am well on my way to doing a wall of clocks over my couch! Remember my $8 Rusted Clock? Well this clock is no longer lonely! I have seen beautiful clocks like these…
IMAX-Large-Wall-Clock-with-Pendulum-in-Antique-distressedIMAX-Classic-Building-Wall-Clock
Music Note Wall ClockEiffel Tower Wall Clock 
Oh so pretty…they will run you about $28 if you catch them at a good price. I Love the Eiffel Tower one so…
Supplies
I gathered my supplies…including Decoupage glue not pictured here.
Stickers
I started by cutting apart my stickers and laying out my design…then I put my stickers right on the paper and stamped a little pretty here and a little pretty there and in minutes I had this…
Face
What a thrill! I was so happy with the way the face turned out I ran to HL to get a clock motor!!! Oh and by the way…I sprayed the sides of the mdf  circle with Oil Rubbed Bronze spray paint!
030
Put it all together and what do you get? A bouncing Bubbly Bridgette! WOO-HOO! This clock cost me about $5 using coupons for the motor and waiting for a sale for the other items!

Qui n'aimerait pas une horloge avec la Tour Eiffel sur elle? Yeah…I don’t know French either! Google Traslate says it says…Who wouldn’t love a clock with the Eiffel Tower on it?

I worked on another clock a couple of weeks ago, but the motor I had wouldn't work, so it is on hold for now. I think I am going to do another faux clock though....

I totally love clocks too, especially the really big wall ones :-)

Your hand-made clock is fantastic!! It looks like an old treasure :-) And isn't oil rubbed spray paint the best?!
