Hi I’m back with my second project
for SRTC 😊 first
thing I did to make this fun count down clock was to cover a 12 x 12
canvas and my chipboard pieces with Gesso - allow to dry
Place stencil down again and add
distress paint in peeled paint and fired brick. I still wanted more
colour so I squished the two distress paints into the top of the
canvas and let it run. I picked up the extra paint with a baby wipe
to keep it from being too much. I then made some metallic gold and
black acrylic paint more fluid by adding some alcohol spray to it. I
splattered the canvas and added some dots with the paints. Set aside to dry.
I made 24 flowers, then glued numbers 1
to 24 to the centres of each.
Take the Chipboard words and adhere
some microbeads onto them for added texture. I allowed it to dry then
used the same fluid, gold acrylic paint over them. Ad some white
acrylic over the top and lastly rubbed a little black paint around
the edges of the words to help them stand out better. Find the center of your canvas and poke
a hole through – this will be where your clock hand gets fastened.
Glue the numbers in place around the
canvas.
Glue a small ¼ inch bead to the bottom
of the clock hand to keep it raised off the canvas ( to make it easy
to turn and allow clearance over the chipboard words)
I used a long brad to fasten the clock
hand to the canvas. I had to cut the brads arms …errr legs? lol
(what do we call those?) so that they fit through the bead and I
could fasten the hand on.

This was a simple and fun project to
make. I hope you give it a try.
Thanks for looking ~ Erin
