Pallet for Home: Hobby Lobby Score!

Hobby Lobby Score!

Tuesday, August 14, 2012

I love a great find, don't you.

This time I really Scored!

I was waiting for the DMV to open

and had some time to kill, so why not wander the isles of Hobby Lobby right?

I walked down the clearance isle and found this beautiful

Huge clock!

I walked past it a few times, falling more and more in love with it.

So I called my hubs and asked if I could spend $5 on a clock.

He goes, "yeah, I guess so.

You know you don't really need to

ask to spend $5."

I know but this was such a great find, I had to share immediately.

So I took it up to the cashier and she was stunned at the price.

"You sure got a great deal on this clock!" Yes. Yes I did!

I really did only spend $5

on this 30 inch clock.

Why was it marked down to $5 you ask?

Well, it looked like someone ran over it with a cart or something metal.

Here's the before and after Pics.

My hubs didn't think I could fix it. He was pleasantly surprised.

I used a dishcloth and a hammer to pound out the major dents. I wanted to keep some of the small ones because I like the distressed look.

Next I got out some vaseline and a cotton ball. I've seen this technique on Pinterest and was dying to try it out.

Using the cotton ball, I rubbed some vaseline on some places randomly around the clock. Then taped off the face with painters tape and gave it 2 coats of black flat spray paint. Let the paint dry and using a piece of sand paper, rub off the paint where the vaseline is.
