Battery ran out for my clock in the garage. Brought it inside and thought I should change how it looks. So I gave it a new face.
Basically buy a $4 clock from walmart, take it apart, rip the original face out & glue in the new one you printed. You'll need a Picture Editing Software. Steps are simple and I'm not gonna go through it all.
Tips...
-Make sure you glue your 12' O Clock in the 12' o clock position. You dont want to finish and when you hang up the clock your 12' o clock is at the 3' o clock location or where its not suppose to be.
-Before you PRINT the actual face/template do a few pre-prints. Set your printer to "Black Ink Only" and print quality to "Fast Draft" that way incase you dont like it you can readjust your clock template & save Inks.
-Give your template extra BLANK spaces. I end up cutting a little too much thats why some cars are cut off a bit.
-I recommend using Photo Paper as they're thicker and wont look like a kids coloring project when glued to the clock.
This is just an idea if you want a custom clock of your choice. PM me with your email if you want the dial template. I edit that anolog dial by my self. Deleted the numbers and needles. Its clean and clear ready for your custom designs.
The middle car is mine, of course. The other 12 were some of my fav cars. Oh and of course, the Corolla XRS(10'o clock) has to be one of my fav cars too. Its a Si killer...No argue about that.
Anyways enjoy your new clock.
