Thrifty Thurs. - A Clock...




The Clock - 2$ @D.I.

Nothing like a dirty table to photograph a dirty clock. It makes the after picture that much better.




Materials used:
-black chalkboard spray paint,
-Krylon Bahama Sea (Gloss)spray paint
-Tin to make it magnetic, because a magnetic chalkboard is better than a 'not magnetic chalkboard'
-Tin snips
-A Hammer to make it lay flat



I love that quote, because it's true.

You need to bottle your creativity and then sell me some. Honestly. If I had 1/4 of your talent my house would be beautiful.

You've knocked it out of the park. I'm dying over the color. I love it!

Laura said...

I never would have imagined that an ugly clock could turn into something SO STINKIN' CUTE!

Are you kidding me with this?! I DIE over this and I never ever would have looked at that clock and thought, "you know what? I could turn this into an incredibly cute magnetic chalk board!" I'm officially in awe of your thrifty Thursday creative-ness :)

ps. How's your hair? I'm SO sorry I couldn't do it last time : / Let me know if you need any help with it :)

Kami- this is by far your coolest DIY project yet. I am so impressed with your ability to see the vision in something that does not seem to be that promising. You inspire me.

Seriously love it!

I need to go thrift shopping with you so you can help me see the vision. All I ever see is crap.
