  • This clock is a piece that I have had my eye on for some time. I thought it would be fun to see if I could make it using Dollar Tree items. One day I will remake it on real wood so it will be more durable, but for now I love how it looks. I just it using a piece of twine and command strips. Also, there are many different ways that you can place the letters. Mine are the way they are because that’s how the clock is that I was recreating. Some say that they are upside down, but there are a ton of clocks that look like this.

    I think I'll try to make a paper mache version of this. Paper mache, sanded, gives a beautiful smooth surface that paints beautifully. You can even go over it with a thin coat of paper clay mix and use a wood grain brayer or texture stamp . I already have the wood grain brayer ( cost me about $20 but I've used it for a ton of projects). But overall the cost should be about the same in my case. The folds in the cardboard bothered me but this is a fantastic idea. I already have one made from wood pallet planks I love to bits but it's super heavy to hang & my friend, an apt dweller, wants one more lightweight. This will be her birthday present.

    This is a beautiful project, the only thing I would have done differentlyis that I would have drawn the "planks" parallel to the folds in the cardboard. Running the lines parallel to the folds would have made them less visible.

    I’m a collector of clocks. We have probably 60-70 in our home. Our living room is a room of clocks. This turned out beautiful! Fun fact - have you ever noticed that some clocks have the 4 in Roman numerals as IIII instead of IV? I looked up why this is done and the reason they gave was so that it matches, in size, the VIII directly across from it. Isn’t that wild? I had never noticed until someone pointed it out to me and now I see it all the time.

    • @WendiLee
      @WendiLee  4 роки тому +1

      I did notice that! When I was looking up the roman numerals, I noticed that and I also noticed that some of them weren't upside down either. I decided to make it just like the one I was trying to recreate, but there definitely are some options!

    Two things 1) In am not fond of those folds ...even seems like clock isn't flat because of them. Does it lay flat against wall? 2) I think the numerals that include a "v" are upside down on your clock? Maybe it's me...but I thought when you look at it's face they would be in correct position for reading 6:10 for example. Sorry should of posted my likes first! Color great. Decision to dupe was cool! Even love the wood look ship lap design. Curious how you hung it up..? Is there a place on the clock part to do that? Good job explaining step by step too!😊

    • @WendiLee
      @WendiLee  4 роки тому +2

      It does lay flat, I hung it with twine and then added some command strips. And as far as the letters, I was going off the piece that I found online and that’s how those were placed. I think it can go either way ☺️

    @mindymiller3270 4 роки тому

    Oh! I made the same clock also using wooden dowels for the numbers. I also considered poking holes and using twine in straight lines, because I suck at drawing straight lines, lol. The only thing different I did was use 4 foam boards, because I didn't want the seam from those folds. yours came out really nice though so now I wish I had because it would have been a little cheaper haha. I also cut thin strips of poster board, painted it to match and glued them on the edges because when you stood you could see on the side of the wall that it was cardboard thin. How is yours working out that way? Can you tell from the side view? I was wondering about the foam board you used on the back lifting it off the wall. Great job though! Love it!

    • @WendiLee
      @WendiLee  4 роки тому +1

      @@WendiLee I just noticed I wrote poster board. I meant I made them out of 4 FOAM BOARDS, then edged with poster board. Try going to Lowes if you have one near you. They are sooo generous about giving out free wood. They give away their pallet wood all the time, and bad cuts or wood that is a little off. Home Depot does not do this. I always try to patronize Lowes more for this reason.

      If you saw in the video, I was trying to recreate a piece I found online and that’s how theirs looked. I don’t think there is a wrong way to place them ☺️

      I was going off a piece I found online and this is how they had theirs placed. I think there are many different ways you could place them ☺️
