OK, so if you have been around my blog awhile you know this is a really old post. Like, one of the first ever tutorials I did on here. I still get questions about this one and the past few months I have gotten a few e-mails and comments about the original post missing pictures. I’m not sure why they are no longer there, but regardless the problem needed fixing. My solution was to just start over…So here is the new/old tutorial on how to make the below clock face from Pottery Barn.
 Materials: (1) 23″ Quilt hoop, (1) 14″ Quilt hoop, bag of Woodsies brand sticks (found at Joann’s)
First, I removed the outer hoops and started working around the, soon to be, clock face. I used Gorilla Glue, but I’m sure wood glue would work too. I did not cut any of the sticks before I put them on, I just tried to line up the inside and leave the overhang on the outer edge.
The “X†was the trickiest and I just used whatever I could find to hold them down. I let it dry overnight.
**You could also use hot glue, but I don’t know how well it will hold up.**
The next morning I took a razor and scored the sticks where I needed to remove them.
Then I used a pair of pliers to break them off. Try not to pull on the wood, it will splinter. Just hold the stick, so it doesn’t detach and work the pliers up and down. It will remove the wood clean.
Here’s the cleaned up version.
Then I used some Rust-oleum metallic spray paint to give it a metal look.
And here’s the finished project.
What do ya think?? Looks a lot like the PB pic, don’t you think!
I don’t recall exactly how much I spent on this but I think it was around $10. (I got my supplies at Joann Fabric with coupons.) I hope the pictures explain everything a little better for you!

That clock face is genius. Affordable, fairly easy and great, love, love it. How clever of you to figure out how to replicate the PB clock face. I’m not a PB shopper or looker so get ideas from you clever bloggers.
This looks like a great project for my hubs. For one he has alot more patience than I do and it would be a good project for him. I might have to substitute smaller sized hoops for ones I already have but we’ll have to buy the sticks.
Hubs had a stroke in 201 and still has some problems with his left arm/hand and he’s left handed. I try to get him to do things like this with his hand so he doesn’t know my ulterior methods. This is a great project for him and I’ll get a wonderful decoration, already have the metal spray paint. Love your blog and you always inspire me one way or the other. Happy Days
Absolument génial!!!!!!!
Grand bravo!
Kisssss…
Love this project….so very creative! I never would have thought of this, but I think I may have to try it.
Wow! Who would have thunk. It looks identical. Way to go!
That looks fantastic!! Great job and price! Thanks for sharing. I think I’m going to try one.
Wonderful results, wonderful directions and low cost, also nice. Great job! Many thanks.js
Thanks, Jackie!
Great tutorial!
Just fininshed my clock face and now waiting for it to dry so I can paint. Lovin’ it!
I used Elmer’s wood glue and it set up very quickly here. Of course, I live in the desert so things do tend to dry faster here.
In under two hours, I was able to trim the ends off the wood sticks. I used a very sharp razor knife and cut right along the edge of the hoop all the way through without using the pliers to snap off the extra at the end. This left a fairly smooth edge and then I took a baby emery board, that my daughter left here one time when she brought my grand baby over, and I sanded off what little splinters there were after cutting off the extra. I am going to paint it with the Rust-oleum multicolor textured paint in brown
Thanks so much for the tutorial and for sending me the picture of the package of Woodsies so that I could see the numbers. You are so sweet! Did I say that I loved it? 🙂
Debbie, I’m so glad!!! 🙂
p.s.: Fieldsfabrics.com had a great price on the Woodsies and great shipping (price and timing). $2.59 for #1021175 and less than $2.00 for standard shipping which arrived in the same time frame as priority mail!
I loved this DIY project is so inspiring. As a student, I’m always looking for affordable ways to decorate my space, and this Pottery Barn-inspired clock face is such a creative idea. It also reminds me of how engaging hands-on projects can be, especially when paired with online communities. Speaking of connecting with others who love crafts and DIY, I recently came across this Facebook page that shares a lot of my super geek reviews and geeky and creative inspiration. It’s always fun to find new ideas and motivation for personalizing spaces. I can’t wait to try making this clock face for my own room.
Sand the surface lightly for a smooth finish. If using pallet wood, Ragdoll Hit arrange planks around the edge to form a rustic border, securing with construction adhesive and screws.
I’m not sure why they’re no longer there, but whatever the problem is, it needs to be fixed. My solution is to start over…
