momentousangel Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 I just finished altering a clock, yay! I had bought some clocks for just under 4 dollars each at Target with the intention of altering them and giving them away as gifts. Well, with the wonderful help in the newsletter, it prompted me to do something with those clocks that have been sitting there waiting for me for months. I've changed the insides of the clocks and it was really so easy! However, the outside is white and I just really don't like it being white, especially considering they are going to be gifts for kids. The white part is plastic, so I doubt that paint will stay on it if I try painting it, so was wondering if anyone has any ideas on how I can make that white part go away and match the pretties on the inside?

Guest gauchogirl Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Krylon makes a spray paint just for plastic! You could tape off the front and spray in just a few minutes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithmomma Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 What a fun idea. I have altered clock faces with stickers, but never thought of using scrapbooking. Cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rose Ann Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 How about glue and paper, like a decoupage thingie? (now there's a hobby from the olden days...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CC from AZ Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Yes please Val take a pic if you can... might check, sometimes things need to be lightly sanded before repainting. can't wait to see the finished product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
