DIY Home Decor | Rose Gold & Marble Clock

 I warned you that vinyl contact paper goes a long way, so here is my second DIY using the marble transformer.

Fancy seeing this made in video form? Have a little watch below...

I picked this round frame up from Poundland, so no great expense required for this DIY.  I found my clock mechanism in HobbyCraft [but plenty of cheap alternatives are to be found online] and the marble vinyl from Wilko.

The main elements of your frame you will need for this DIY is the frame and backboard - remove everything else.

Use the backboard as your template to draw on to the back of the patterned vinyl and cut out :

 Peel away the paper and stick securely on to the backboard, smoothing as you go to prevent 

any air bubbles [a ruler works great for this if needed]:

 Using the backing of the paper, fold in to quarters to create a template for the centre point.

Mark this with a pencil and then carefully pierce through the backboard until the pencil 

can move through [this will be the perfect size to fix you mechanism in place]:

 Follow the instructions to add your mechanism parts in order:

Now to cover the frame.

Use the frame as your template to measure the width and length of the vinyl required

 to cover the sides and front:

 To neaten the lines, a craft knife will help remove any excess and helping create a clean join: 

 To add interest and an accent colour, I chose a vinyl in gold, with a slight texture to cover 

the inside of the frame.  

Again, I used the frame as my guide for the measurements and a craft knife to neaten the edges:

 Finally, the backboard can now be fixed into place within the frame:

A stylish, classic addition to your home decor that's quick [and cheap] to make too!

It's also a simple way to update any existing accessories you have, simply.
