Altered CD Clock
I am sure we’ve all seen altered clocks before…. but have you seen an altered CD clock?! I remember seeing paper scrappers make these and thought it was time I did one digi-style! 
This project is so easy peasy… and really cheap! I thought 2 Straws by Dani, Shawna, and Traci had the perfect theme for a “Mom’s Diner” clock! Plus that clock element in there reminded me that I’d been wanting to make one of these.
Crafting supplies: old/blank CD, 3-inch thin wood circle (only cost about 20 cents at Michael’s), clock works with 1/4 post (use one of your 40% off coupons to Michael’s or Joann’s and that baby is only $4), Making Memories Metal Glue, Mod Podge Matte, 3D Dots foam adhesive squares, rhinestones, small stand (check out your dollar store).
So, first I measured my CD and set my canvas size to 12×12 cm. I created a circle with the shape tool with the same dimensions and clipped my paper to this shape. I sized my second, inner circle (the clock face) about an inch smaller. I created a guide for placing my numbers and markers and I even made a little “template” for you just in case you decide you want to make one! Just open it up and place it on your clock face canvas, place your numbers and marks at the lines, then delete! You can download it here.
Then I opened two 5×7 canvases and copied the circles to these canvases. You can put both on one 8×8, but printing two 5×7’s was quite a bit cheaper for me. Save as a jpeg and print on matte (or lustre) photo paper.
I then cut my prints out and attached the larger circle to my CD with my MM Metal Glue. Then I Mod Podged the clock face to the wood circle (my print is quite a bit larger than the wood so don’t worry about that). I then hired my hubby to drill a hole in both circles (at the center, of course) with a 1/4 inch drill bit.
I attached rhinestones to my markers for 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, and 11. After fiddling with my clock works for a little bit, I realized that I needed to add some thickness between my clock face and the clock back, so I had to attach two layers of foam adhesive squares to make everything match up and attached the face to the back with these squares. And then I jsut followed the directions that came with my clock works to finish up the clock! I plan on displaying it on a mini picture stand, but I haven’t found one yet that I liked. You could also punch holes in the CD with a Cropadile and then thread some ribbon through and hang it that way.
Happy hybriding!

I think that gold bullion is better investment than stocks. People think that value of gold will rise again. Visit the page about Krugerrand Value

Christian Louboutin
are not the ideal for foot and leg health. The healthiest Christian Louboutin Pumps
are those with fairly wide heels that are no more than a half or the Christian Louboutin Boots
are too tight. You should have warm-up and cool-down exercises every time you wear Christian Louboutin Sandals
