Greek Key Inspired DIY Clock

Hi friends!

Through the years I have come to know & embrace my style better:).

It has been a journey to find it but once I took the time to get to know myself  & my family in our new home, it just came, it flowed and it was effortless.

My style has evolved into what I like to call- “Modern Rustic Country.”

I like to mix natural textures, rustic details with modern simplicity.

Keeping this in mind I tackled this project a few weeks ago last week….

A Greek Key Inspired DIY Clock.

It is super easy & fun, this is what you do….

1. Find  a base. I used a 16″ x 16″ square piece of MDF with a 3/8″depth.

2. Buy your clock kit. I purchased from the craft store, you can also buy online. I purchased the larger hands separately.

3. Choose your paint or stain. I used a vinegar & steel wool solution.

4. Drill hole in center, I used a 1/2″ drill bit. Make sure you measure your clock insert.

5. Tape off your Greek Key Design or any design you choose. Be sure to press firmly around edges.

6. Using a foam brush layer your paint. I used Revere Pewter(B.M).

7. Pull off tape right away. Let dry & sand.

8. Seal with a wax, I used Anne Sloan’s Clear Wax.

9. Follow the directions from your clock kit to insert clock parts.

10. Hang & Enjoy!
