Instructions

  1. Determine position of blocks leaving an opening for clock works to fit.
  2. Use paper trimmer to cut 1-1/2” squares from colored cardstock. Lay papers on blocks as desired. Optional: Take a digital picture at this point so you will have reference if blocks get scrambled.
  3. Lay a sheet of paper towel on work surface. Open jar of Collage Pauge. Wet brush and dry off with paper towel. Lay a block on paper towel then brush on a thin even coating of Collage Pauge. Quickly brush Collage Pauge on back of colored paper then immediately press paper onto block. Brush a thin coat over top to seal. Replace block back in position. Repeat step to cover all blocks. Let dry.
  4. Determine top of clock. Carefully flip over a block and nail on saw tooth hanger.
  5. Drill a hole in center of wood round, making sure shaft of clock fits. Trace wood circle on cardstock then cut a scant 1/8” inside edge. Position on round then trim as needed so a wood border shows around edge. Decoupage in place. Let dry.
  6. Apply a thin bead of Wood Glue along both edges where block meet. Press together then carefully wipe off any excess that shows. Continue with all blocks. Let glue thoroughly dry.
  7. Start flow of Slick White on paper towel using an even pressure on bottle for a smooth line. Carefully fill in just top of each number and clock hands. Let dry.
  8. Push pencil from front through hole in center of wood round making a hole in paper. Assemble clock following clock instructions. Apply glue to back of wood round then position and press in place. Let dry.
  9. Carefully peel numbers from paper backing, trim edges if needed then press in place on blocks where desired.
