DIY Huge Wall Mount Clock

Supplies needed for this fun project:

wood (we did ours with 6 pieces of 2" wide by 6 foot long and 6 pieces 4" wide 6 foot long)

Wood Stain

Paint

Saw

Measuring Tape

Brackets (about 20 small ones) or scrap wood to hold wood together in back (we used both)

wood screws

Stencils if desired

We decided that instead of watching dateline one Friday to get off our butts and do a project we had been talking about ;) Loaded up both of our tired children and crossed our fingers!

They seriously love the depot! They don't get out much ;)

Got our wood 12- 6 foot long pieces 

6 4" wide

6 2" wide

Shaun decided to cut them randomly longways to give the clock more detail...this step is NOT necessary but it did end up looking super cool when stained and sanded!

Then use those little brackets (we bought 20 of the 53 cents each ones) you bought and put all the pieces together on the backside.

Once it feels pretty secure with all pieces together flip that sucker over and measure out your circle to saw. If you use a string and chalk you can hold the string n the middle of wood, tie the chalk on opposite end and draw it out easily...well kinda.

Stain whatever color you like and after that dries paint over it if you want to give it a white washed or weathered look. Paint doesn't have to be perfect because we are going to sand after the paint dries.

Painted...

And after sanded...

Final step is the stencils!! I lightly hand sanded over stencils numerals once they dried so they looked weathered also. Oh ya I quickly added a little bit of a darker wax here and there after all was said and done because it was to white white for me.

Can't wait to hang her up BUT we cannot locate our stud finder and this heavy beast needs to be in the studs for sure!
