Where Did the Weekend Go?

Okay, here is the project I was so excited about Friday! In just a few minutes, I made this clock! Talk about cheerful...he's been smiling at us all weekend.


Jack-o-lantern clock with decor elements spooky expressions



I started with an inexpensive clock from Dollar General.






  • Remove the clock from the box, flip over and remove all the screws around the outside which should remove the frame and glass.

  • The clock hands come off fairly easily, just be sure to lift them one at a time

  • Use the frame as a template, hold pencil straight up and draw a circle






  • my clock was larger than 8-1/2" so I layed 2 pieces of cardstock side-by-side so there is a large piece and an extra sliver

  • center large piece over clock face and press to get the center mark

  • cut or punch a hole in the center

  • apply face to the front using hole as a guide for the nose

  • apply Tombow mono adhesive to the back of the orange pieces and let dry

  • attach orange pieces to clock front

  • pop clock hands back on

  • lay glass and frame on top, flip, and put screws back in


Voila!
