I loved the clock face on the wall!My husband is normally really great about letting me run with my ideas. So after we put the girls to bed last night I “ran” to Joann. I bought two hoops and some wooden sticks.
I removed the outer hoop and started working around the, soon to be, clock face. I used Gorilla Glue, but I’m sure wood glue would work too. I did not cut any of the sticks before I put them on, I just tried to line up the inside and leave the overhang on the outer edge.
The “X” was the trickiest and I just used whatever I could find to hold them down. I let it dry overnight.
This morning I took a razor and scored the sticks where I needed to remove them.
Then I used a pair of pliers to break them off. Try not to pull on the wood, it will splinter. Just hold the stick, so it doesn’t detach and work the pliers up and down. It will remove the wood clean.
Here’s the “cleaned up” version.
Then I used some leftover spray paint. (My husband jokes that I am loosing “LOTS” of brain cells with all the spray painting I do…but it truly will transform just about anything!)
And here’s the finished project. I am not sure where it will go permanently, but I was so excited, I wanted to share it!
What do ya think?? Looks a lot like the PB pic, don’t you think!

awww..thank you for putting up my button 🙂 I'm going to feature this at MMM this week…be sure to link up on Monday 🙂
Wow…THANKS!!
I just saw this in the catalog yesterday! I love it! I was thinking I am sure I could make one. Now I really can thanks!
I love this project! Very clever!
THAT is truly amazing! I must figure out a place to put one of these. I wish I could fit a trip in to JoAnn's before we leave for vaca.
This is such an amazing Idea! Wish I'd thought of it first! I love it! It really looks great!
Great job! It looks great where it is, but I'll be curious to see where it finds it permanent home.
That's awesome Angela! Don't be surprised if you come over some time and find one a lot like it at my house. 🙂
This looks great! Perfect knock off!

I found you on Craft Gossip, and your clock face just blows me away! Love this! Gotta make one for myself! I'm your newest follower.
Your clock face is fabulous! Love it.
saw this on remodelholic today – i love what you’ve done! my parents have one of those clock faces, and i’ve always envied it, but the cost was just too high!! thanks for sharing, and i just might have to copy this!!
I saw this on Craft Gossip and didn’t think about how you made it. Then when I saw it on Remodelaholic, I couldn’t believe it was from embroidery hoops! Amazing! I LOve it! I am featuring this at somedaycrafts.blogspot.com. Grab my “featured” button.
I love it!!! So creative.
I am for sure making this one!!! I am in LOVE!
Very creative….I love it, what a great knock off!!!
Ooh I love this idea & wish you had come up with it a long time ago before my hubby bought me the ubber expensive version for Christmas lol. Just wanted to say if you wanted to make this an actual working clock, that mine has a cross with a circle in the middle so that the clock hands attach to the circle & the spokes on the cross meet at 12, 6, 3 & 9. Hmm maybe I will try a version of this for my ‘office’ space. Thanks for the inspiration!
That is so awesome! I had no idea it was made out of wood. I assumed it was made out of iron!
What a great knockoff! It looks just like the real thing and probably 3/4 less than the real deal! Can’t beat that!!

This is brilliant!!
Holy cow that is SO cool! I try and find ways to re-create these sorts of things all the time and that is so clever! I will definitely have to try this clock face project…it would look great in my house! So fantastic.
Amazing. I need to try this. Will link back if I can get to it.
