Thrifty Thursday…..Decoupage clock

I found some wonderful old books on my recent hunt. I love the red covers. The contents are pretty fun too. The dictionary is from 1941. The medical book is from 1957. These will make great books to stack and add some character to the end table. But I just couldn’t leave the dictionary be. I wanted to do something with a few of the pages. It has so many interesting photo descriptions!

I decided to decoupage some of the pages on a large clock we have. I really liked the clock as is, but I’ve had this for so long & really wanted to lighten up the area that it was hanging. This did the trick!

Using a paint brush, Mod podge, and a few of the pages I got to work. First I laid out the pages I wanted to wrap around the edges. Then I trimmed some off the excess.

.

Load on the glue! I applied it to both the clock frame as well as the page its self. Then I smoothed the pages on to the glued surface.

I continued until the entire space was covered. I tried to keep the molded look of the frame but I also love the texture that was formed!

Ta~Da !! Done!

I also made a few other items with these pages.

I loved how this card turned out, "fall in love ...as lovers do" .  This one was used for a wedding.

I definitely will be making more of these :)
