Time Change

Here is a fun, easy project that I (as I always say) have been wanting to do for a long time (I think I saw this idea in Real Simple years ago but I'm not sure). I bought a cheap clock at Target for $8 and detached the cover and face. I used a piece of pretty paper to trace the face and insert it in place of the face, then reattached the cover. Voila! A boho chic clock for my kitchen, which I hope will soon show up on here with its own befo' and afta'! I also thought it would be cute to spray paint the hands of the clock (and the frame if one is feeling rather ambitious and spray-paint happy)- a bright pink or blue or even yellow, but that can be for another day.

BEFORE: booooorrrriiinnngg


AFTER! Ooh la la!

I like it! But I wouldn't be able to tell the time because I always get confused when there's no numbers. I need to reeducate myself in that area.

so cool...I was at a friend's house tonight who was showing me all these crafty things she did - calendar prints as wall hangings, iron with tapestry behind it as the decor...I'm so impressed with you peeps...and a little inspired...maybe i'll get around to doing something crafty myself!

Ruthie was a little concerned about the lack of numbers too.
