I really like the look of this style of clock, but, didn’t want to spend a lot of money for an antique. this clock had a shiny gold finish, which I didn’t like, but, for $9.99, I bought it here.
first, I spray painted in pink, then, I simply rubbed a brown ink over it, to tone it down, and a black ink pad on the edges, to give it a chippy, aged finish. (the inks I used to the pads used for stamps)
here is the before.
menards also had a tiny clock, ($7.96), which I plan on painting white.
I’m sharing this here…
