I'm sure you've all seen a version of those wall clocks on Pinterest or Etsy, but I didn't quite like any of them. I wanted fun frames, more color, etc. When making another project for a friend, I just happened to find the perfect frames at Hobby Lobby! They are on sale about every other week 50% off, so it pays to wait a week!
The only problem...there were not enough colors for me to do 12 frames. But I kept looking and found these desktop frames...
PERFECT! Now all 12 frames could be different colors. Ripping the flap off the back was a bit tricky, but by the time I got to the last one it was easy! The key is use a flat-head screwdriver and pull out the rivets at the top...then the flap slides right off. You don't want to see the first few I did. LOL!
So now I had these perfect frames, but I needed the clock mechanism and some cute vinyl letters. I headed to Etsy and found this...
Since I didn't need frames, I asked the seller if I could just buy the clock hands and wording. She made me a special listing. It was GREAT, she even included instructions! Mo is amazing! The vinyl lettering is so easy to apply with her instructions! I love this because your letters are perfectly strait! She now has this same listing in her shop, so go buy it and tell her Jennifer send you!

After installing the clock hands on the wall, I used the template Mo provided and hung the frames. I was tired and really just eyeballed it. But I love the final product!!
What do you think? And yes, it keeps perfect time! :)
