Hey there! 🙂

Fun project just completed! I made a custom clock using Cricut Design Space and I’m in LOVE! A BIG clock is just what I need up at my cottage in the pines. We finished a remodel last summer and I’m decorating it next month. This clock is going to look so cool. I love the mountains but I also love the beach so I’ve chosen a color scheme that is also very beachy with a cottage style.

 

I made a custom clock using some paint, vinyl and Cricut Design Space. I'm in LOVE! You can make one too.

 

I love to repurpose for my Cricut home decor designs. You want to see what I started with? Yep! It’s a 23″ round initial plaque I got at a hobby store for $6 clearance.

So here’s how I made it!

SUPPLIES NEEDED: Circular wood surface (I repurposed a large 23″ circular decor item) 1 clock movement mechanism part Paint for background design on clock Cricut machine, mat, and tools for cutting and adhering the vinyl Cricut vinyl (I used white glossy outdoor vinyl) I think the metallic vinyl could look cool on a clock too! Cricut Design Space for the clock face (numbers, custom design, name, quote, initials–whatever) STEPS:

  1. Paint your clock backing as desired. I wasn’t sure what design I wanted when I first painted it white then I went with a watercolor type paint stripes. (and I love it) I may do a future tutorial for that process if I get some interest.
  2. Add your clock mechanism and determine where your numbers will go. Here’s a great tutorial for that part if you need it.
  3. Measure your clock and determine what size and style of numbers you want and any other designs for the Cricut machine. I used post it notes to lay it out. I wanted large kind of funky numbers and I chose to use the font Allspice Alternates for my numbers and Pinsetter Middles for my cottage font.
  4. Now it’s time to use Cricut Design Space! If you don’t have it, here are the deets on it:

Will I be required to use cartridges with the Cricut?

Here’s the cool part —–>> The answer is NO! After painting my clock I made my custom clock using Cricut Design Space in 4 easy steps: I made a custom clock using Cricut Design Space and I'm in LOVE!

I made a custom clock using Cricut Design Space and I'm in LOVE! You can make one too. Once you’ve cut your design you’ll need to adhere it to the clock in your designated spots.There are many tutorials on how to place the vinyl. I think this post is long enough for today! I’m still getting good at it myself. It gets better with practice. 🙂 I noticed a couple of flaws after I took photos. I’ll be fixing it but I’m not going to mention what they are so hopefully you won’t focus on them like I am. (ahhhh — insert funny face here)

Do you have a word or words you’d like to focus Do you have a word or words you’d like to focus on for 2021? I haven’t picked mine yet but I like to have a focus word. I’m always a little behind in the game but I think this one word Wellness would work. Ironically that was my 2020 word. I started out the year so good. I lost 30 lbs and was on a healthier path and then Covid happened and some things went out the window.  But I still believe in having a focus word. I designed over 70 of these prints and I sell them for $1.00 each and I will customize one for $3.00. They are so popular in my shop. (shopinkhappi.com) Do you have a word for 2021 to focus on? Just curious if so what is it? I also have a list of 100 ideas for that one word #ontheblog. Link in bio #inkhappidesigns

These are my people and I'm so grateful for them! These are my people and I'm so grateful for them! I don't talk much about this but having an only child has been one ofn my hardest trials to endure. I would of loved to have more children and give my daughter siblings but it wasn't meant to be. That doesn't stop me from being so so grateful to be blessed with her in my life. She's been an exceptional child and has given me a son in law and two darling grand kids. I'm glad that she married into a family of 5 boys and a girl  and lots of in laws and nieces/nephews. One thing I've learned is that a family is a family no matter how big or small. These are the people I like to laugh with, share with, vacation with with and celebrate holidays and birthdays with. My people!
