DIY Upcycled Wrapping Paper Clock

9 · Feb 18, 2021 · Stephanie Gerber · 10 Comments

DIY Rifle Paper Co Clock

You might say that I have a bit of an obsession with Rifle Paper Co. If it comes in a whimsical floral design – calendar, card, wrapping paper – I am completely smitten. Seriously, it’s out of hand. When I came across this wrapping paper, I knew had to display it in our apartment somehow. What better way than to make your own DIY clock covered in recycled wrapping paper? Now every time I check the time, I can admire the lovely print!

DIY Upcycled Wrapping Paper Clock How ToSupplies Needed

  • Clock base
  • Clock kit
  • Wrapping paper of your choice
  • Mod podge
  • Sponge brush
  • Spray Paint (optional)

Instructions

Spray painting

Step 1

If the paper you chose is dark, consider painting the clock hands a bright color to make them pop. Simply lay the pieces flat, spray paint and let dry.

Step 2

On the back of your paper, trace around the clock base with a pen. Then cut out the circle leaving a one-inch margin all the way around.

Step 3

Apply a generous, smooth layer of mod podge to the clock base. Cover with your paper circle (pattern facing out), then smooth over any lumps with your finger or a bone folder. Wrap the paper around the edges of the clock base and seal with mod podge.

Step 4

Let the glue dry completely and then cut out the hole in the center of the clock with an X-Acto knife. Be careful; you don’t want to rip the paper on the front of the clock.

Step 5

Attach your clock kit according to the instructions and decide where to put it. I’m kind of in love with my new DIY clock – the florals and the bright pink make me smile every time I look at it!
