So I got a new toy a little while ago and I seriously do not know how I ever survived without it! I'm talking about my new hot glue gun. Nothing high tech, nor expensive about it. It's just plain awesome. I've used it for numerous little projects and repairs since it got it.I thought I'd share my super easy DIY Coastal Clock makeover!
I started with a basic clock, I picked up from Kmart ($10). I was happy to experiment for a tenner, if it all went horribly wrong there would be no tears shed.
I'm sure that little Swedish boutique (aka Ikea) would have several likely candidates on offer.
If you wanna give it a go, it's seriously easy, here's what you'll need;
- Some jute rope {Believe it or not this sucker took approx 8 metres of rope!!}
- Hot Glue gun
- Lots of hot glue refill sticks!
- Approx 30-40 minutes
- A steady hand
- Some baby wipes on hand to wipe up the inevitable glue mess as you go ;)
Step 1:
Use hot glue gun to affix rope to outside of clock. The hot glue sets really quickly, just hold in place for a few seconds and continue slowly.
Steps 2-6:
Repeat step 1 until clock rim is fully covered ;)
Easy peasy... one DIY Coastal Clock!
This one's headed for the boys playroom :)
What's the time on the Coastal Clock? Why I do believe it's time for tea :)
Thanks for stopping by...
