INSTRUCTIONS
- Clean off the glass clock with the glass cleaner. Dry.
- Cut out the scrapbook paper, leaving an area roughly 1/2” larger than the clock.
- Using a 3/4" flat brush, apply liberal amounts of Americana Matte Decou-Page to the clock face. Apply the scrapbook paper to the decoupaged side of clock, with design side facing downward.
- Smooth out all air bubbles and excess Decou-Page, using either fingers or a tool of choice. (I used an old wallpaper applicator.) Allow to dry completely.
- Take a sharp flat razor blade and, while holding the glass, trim off the excess paper around the glass clock.
- With a small sponge brush, apply the gold leaf around the clock to give it a finished look.
- Follow the instructions from the clock manufacturer to install the clock mechanism.
- Put in battery.
