A Joyful Riot

A Large Gathering of Happy Things

Copper Blocked Clocks

January 15, 2015 ·

clock3These clocks were so easy! And I discovered what may be my new favorite thing – copper contact paper. I love using contact paper for projects and as soon as I saw this paper on Amazon I knew I needed it buy it. So look out for a few more projects featuring it.

    Materials

  • Foam Board
  • Awl
  • Clock Kit
  • X-acto knife or utility knife
  • Ruler
  • Paint
  • Pencil/Pen
  • Copper Contact paper

1. Trace any shape that you want the clock to be in on the foam board. I did an octagon and a diamond. clock_step12. Cut the shape out. The easiest way to cut foam board is by placing a ruler along the line and then using a utility knife to cut.

clock_step23. Paint half of the shape in any paint color of your choosing. clock_step44. Once the paint has dried place the copper contact paper on the other half of the clock.

clock_step75. Use an awl to cut a hole big enough for the clock part to fit through. clock_step96. Attach the clock kit according to instructions.You may want to take an x-acto knife to cut around the top of the clock as seen below. Once that is done, add the clock hands. clock_step10

I just used command strips to hang and I am loving it in my slowly coming together office/craft room!

    Such a cute and easy craft! I’ve seen similar clocks on Pinterest but they were much more expensive, nice tutorial!
