Holiday feeling on the wall

What do I do with the beautiful shells from the last holiday? How about a pretty wall clock. Here are the instructions.

You need this for the clock:

  • round wall clock made of MDF 33 cm (idea Creativmarkt, 11, 99 €)
  • Spray paint in dark blue
  • Spray paint in Mint
  • Tinting color in Mint
  • Shells (craft shop, Butlers, depot)
  • fine brush
  • Hot glue gun and hot glue

And that's how easy it is:

1. Carefully remove the hands of the watch and paint the watch blank dark blue.

2. Carefully paint the pointer in mint.

3. Write on the watch with a fine brush and tinting color in mint green "Ahoi".

4. Glue the different shells onto the clock with hot glue instead of the numbers.
