A decorative clock in a frame.The cost of this project was only $2.75 (for a used picture frame) because I used up craft supplies I already had on hand.

Supplies for making a Shabby Chic Picture Frame Clock
 

Steps:

  1. Because I chose to keep the glass on this picture frame, we needed to add more depth to the frame to allow room for the depth of the clock fixture. Another alternative would be to use a picture frame without glass and to skip this step. First, we glued the glass to the picture frame using Elmer's glue. Then, we cut out a square from plywood to fit around the perimeter of the picture frame. Glue scrapbook paper or use contact paper to decorate the back of the frame. (Note the added depth of the frame similar to a shadow box picture frame.)
  2. The frame filled with a piece of decorative paper.

  3. Place the clock face (free downloadable templates online) on the front side of the back piece. Mark a hole where the middle of the clock should be and then drill the hole. Attach the clock fixtures to the front and back and add the clock hands.
  4. A round clock face.

  5. Using your embellishments, plan the placement of the decor. I pre-planned placement of the decor and took a picture to refer to the placement so that when I removed the items to glue into place I would remember how I had placed them. I used craft glue and a hot glue gun to glue the embellishments, depending on the thickness of the item. To hang on the wall, drill two holes in the back of the picture frame so that it can be hung with nails.
  6. Close up of the decorative touches on the clock.
