Hello all! Isn't it funny how one little thing can inspire a miniature piece?? That is what happened with this cute little mantle clock. The faux gold oval ring with plastic probably came from an old piece of jewelry, maybe a watch. I found it in an old sewing box I bought at a yard sale. But it totally inspired me to make a purpose for it again.
I do not have proper measurements, I never do, because I made the clock around the oval piece. I would say it is about an inch and a half tall. For the back I used black card stock, in two solid layers then two layers with an oval cut out for depth. I found and printed a clock face from the internet. I also used layered card stock for the base and top.
I used beads for the columns and trimmed down lace for the edging design.
I used wire to hold the beads together while the glue dried then trimmed the excess wire.
I painted it all black first then decided to paint it brown.
Not too shabby don't you think?!
Oh, and as pretty much always, I used Elmers wood glue to hold everything together.
Thanks for visiting!
Happy mini-making!
