What You Will Need

  • Clockmaking Kit from Walnut Hollow
  • Buttons
  • Americana Paint in white and Whispering Turquoise colors
  • Americana stencil
  • Hot glue and a glue gun
  • Tacky glue

Instructions

  • Take your wood clock base from the kit and paint a base coat. Also paint the numbers. Allow these pieces to dry completely.
    Then take your stencil and paint the color of your choice.
    Once everything is completely dry, you can move on.
  • Play around with the position of your buttons and numbers until you are happy with the results.
    Then pick up each button and use hot glue to secure it to the surface.
  • Once all the buttons are glued into place, glue your numbers with tacky glue on top of the buttons. Allow the glue to dry completely.
  • Add the clock hands to the center of the clock, adjusting them as needed until they don't hit your numbers.
