Time for an H2H Challenge

This week’s challenge at H2H is on the theme of time. You can see the challenge here. I thought I would share this clock that I made for Dolly for her room. She wanted a clock fit for a princess and this one certainly is. It cost me about $4.00 to make.

Mommy, I Want a Princess Clock…

…These are the words I heard when my nearly five-year-old daughter saw this picture…

Now I am certainly not against my kids having clocks. I think that all kids should have this old style face clock in their rooms and learn how to tell time on something that is not digital. However, I was not going to spend $25 on a poor quality clock for her either. We went to the dollar store and bought a clock for $1. A little bit of paint, paper and bling and this is what we ended up with…

The whole thing probably cost me $4.00 to make. I simply took apart the dollar store clock, sanded it and painted it with white acrylic paint. After the last coat of paint, I covered it with Prisma Glitter, dumped of the excess and returned it to it’s jar. (Why yes, there is glitter all over me, my children and my kitchen!) I cut a round circle for the inside from the Imaginisce Twitterpated kit. That is also where I got the little bird rub on for the front of the clock. I used Stampin’ Up! Boho Blossoms punch for the numbers and her name. They were both stamped with the small Friendship alphabet. I then added blue rhinestones from Michaels and CTMH bitty sparkles. Courtney and I were both pleased with how it turned out and now she has a clock, fit for a princess, for a fraction of what the one she wanted would have cost.
