Tando Creative Meets French Country

Good Afternoon everyone Hope your having a lovely weekend

I have been Busy Altering This Large Carriage Clock from 

Tando Creative which I picked up from my local craft Shop

I wanted to make it more 3d Because its Comes as a Flat Clock 

so I have made a small Tutorial to go with it 

  I Started by making a Hole in the Back Panel big enough to fit the Clock housing Inside Then with the Card that came in the pack I cut it into 3 inch Strips  then marked and scored 1/2 inch in from each side and cut Triangles into the score line so I could attach to the clock You need to use strong Tacky glue for this
 Once it was stuck I painted it Inside with some
 Black Paint because you will be able to see inside 

Then I added the Papers to the inside of the front panel before attaching the front off the clock Then Just Decorated With my G45  French Country Papers with a bit  of Black soot around the edges And Last added the clock Fixtures  

Thanks for Calling by and I hope this Tutorial will come in Handy at some point to you 

Hugs 

Sandra
