The perfect clock for me

It's true, I am not always on time. I really wish I was, but I'm convinced there is some cosmic force that will not allow for this to ever happen. I try, I really do - i am just constantly running a little late.
So, when I saw this clock on pinterest I knew I had to try a DIY version.

There wasn't a tutorial that I could find, only the actual clock for sale. So, I was on my own. I found a clock kit at hobby lobby, as well as a canvas and went to work.

I used scrap booking stickers for the words and just placed them on the canvas where I wanted them.

I then painted over the letters ad covered the entire canvas. The big problem here was that some of the letters began slipping around once I was painting. When I peeled the letters off (after paint had dryed) I realized it didn't turn out exactly perfect. I went into problem solver mode and just took white paint and filled in the areas that need touching up. I then followed the instructions on the clock kit and put the hands and motor on. The kit was actually really simple!  


It didn't turn out exactly like I had envisioned in my mind, but all together I am happy with it. Annnnd it truly is the Perfect clock for me.
