I am still working on organizing the laundry area, but a couple of the projects are time consuming and I often get distracted with life! While cleaning, I found a boring clock stuck in a pile and decided it would be great for another project.
This is the clock I started with. I got it from Ikea last year for about 2 bucks. I'm sure I was planning on doing something with it, but obviously I never got around to it.
I disassembled the clock and used the face as a template and cut out a new circle with some cute scrapbook paper.
I used the old face to mark off where the number should be and then started gluing on some mini clothespins.
Then, I added a cute quote I cut out of vinyl.
I also spray painted the clock frame to brighten it up. Once it was dry, I put everything back together.
Isn't it so much cuter than what I started with? And, I had everything on hand, even better! Hopefully, it will help me enjoy laundry time more. OK, well I doubt that. At least, I might enjoy my laundry space more.

Love the clock! Super cute.
This looks awesome! I love the colour your chose for the surround and the mini clothespins are adorable! My Silhouette opened up the world of customizing clocks for me and I had lots of fun doing one last month. Now I'm always checking to see whether a clock can be opened to change the face.
All the best,
Claire
Whoops, *you* chose!
I have been looking for inspiration for my laundry room redo and love this idea! I will be on the look out for a clock while out thrifting! I'd love it if you shared at my new Tuesday link party!

Oh WOW!! I LOVE IT!! Like really, everything, the green color, the clothespins(!!!!), the scrapbook paper, the quote. I might have to replicate this exactly, because it's just so awesome! Ok maybe different colors... Thank you SO much for sharing this great idea!!
This is AWESOME!!! ♥♥♥ it!
I just found you over at At The Picket Fence and am your latest follower. I just love this clock. It's super adorable. Was it easy to take the clock apart?
Oh, those mini clothespins are adorable for the number locations! It looks so much prettier than the plain white.
That is one of the cutest clock makeover I've ever seen.
