Desk Clock and notepad with Acrylic Frame

Tic Tock Tic Tock.....
For quite sometime I wanted to make a small clock but I was not sure where to get the inner workings of the clock . Just couple of days back I found a clock repair shop , there they had the clock mechanism for Rs.100 . I was planning to do a video tutorial or at least a picture tutorial, but I was so impatient to see the end result which was worth it.

Materials Used
Spellbinders Sprightly Sprockets                       
Spellbinders Standard Small Circles

Acrylic Frame 5" x 7"
Sticky notepad

Step by Step Instruction

• Die cut sprightly sprocket from copper cardstock and stuck the shapes to the circle (spellbinders small circle die). For the small gears I added a brad.
• Once the glue dries apply 2 coats of Mod Podge Gloss Finish.
• With the embossing folder emboss white cardstock . 
• I used a cotton ball to color the card with distress inkpad , layer by layer I built the color to match the copper card .
• Trimmed a dark brown shimmer card to 5"x 7" to fit the acrylic frame
• Stuck the embossed card on top of the brown card and then inserted it into the frame
• Tie a brown ribbon to the frame
• For the label diecut from a white card , color it with the inkpad and stamp the wording
• Using foam dots I stuck the label to the frame
• For the pen holder I took 2" x 4" brown card , wrapped around pen and stuck it to the notepad (3"x 3")
• At last the clock , once the mod podge dried I stuck the clock working to the shape. For easy battery change I used a strip of magnet on the clock and the frame.
