make it! a cool new clock

I thought this d.i.y. up over the weekend for my newsletter and can hardly wait to pick up the ingredients. Inspired by a canvas grandfather clock I had seen here (thanks Fiona), I came up with a smaller version that you can make yourself pretty easily I would think. Here's the how-to:

Supplies Needed:

1 illustration of a clock fotosearch.com (8.5" x 11")
1 t-shirt transfer avery.com
1 canvas cloth or (preferably just the cloth so you can iron onto it and then stretch it onto a frame) opusframing.com
or 1 framed canvas (this will just be trickier) opusframing.com
1 frame for canvas (if you go the cloth way) opusframing.com
1 clock mechanism kit michaels.com

Instructions:

1. Download a clock illustration you like from one of the great image banks out there (this one is from fotosearch.com) or scan one in from an old book if you like. (Try to make sure the hands are not on the face, or photoshop them out if you have to).
2. Print it onto a t-shirt transfer
3. Iron the transfer onto the canvas.
4. Stretch canvas onto the wood frame unless of course you have a pre-framed one (just trickier).
5. Attach the clock mechanism to the place where the clock hands should be.
6. Voila! A cool new clock you made!
