PinAddicts Challenge July - Linky is Open!

It's my turn again to Host this month's PinAddicts Challenge! Can I get a Whoop Whoop!

To find out how this all works.. click here quickly (it will open in a new window so ya'll don't lose me)

PIN IT, MAKE IT, BLOG IT, LINK IT, SHARE IT, LOVE IT! Link up your projects for anything that inspired you on Pinterest, in the linky below this post.

This month I decided to go THRIFTY!  I've had an old clock kicking around for a while now. Dave has threatened to take it to the dump at least 10 times, and every time I've managed to sneak it out of the dump stuff and hidden it away, pleading with him to keep it because 'one day I will restore it to fabulousness darling....trust me!'

So here you have my inspiration, an awesome mirror which I Pinned, by the lovely Meg over at Whatever


Meg painted hers, I decided to attack a similar style clock with SPRAY PAINT BABY. It's all about Spray Paint.


So here is the old girl. We adopted her when we moved into our Pub . Trying to get the back off was probably the most difficult part of the whole thang. I was hoping a million pounds was stashed in the back, but alas it was not to be...

.

So after a quick clean and a light sand with the kitchen scourer ( Why do I never have the right tools..)  I sprayed like maaaad.


Touch dry in 20 minutes. That's my kind of craft. A second coat and a polish of the old girls face and............


One shabby chiccy type clock - hanging proudly on the kitchen wall. I quite like it if I do say so myself. This whole project cost me about 50p's worth of spray paint. Such a thrifty one I am.

Link up YOUR projects in the Linky below - Linky is open for ONE WHOLE WEEK! So don't panic if you haven't started yet.  On Wednesday I shall reveal our Prize.. awarded at Random - you gotta be in it to win it! 
.
We also have a NEW PinAddicts blog being launched next month... all shall be revealed shortly - in the meantime, follow us on Facebook & Twitter to keep up to date with the latest news - it's Uber exciting stuff!

    How could Dave consider dumping that clock? It's beautiful, and made even more beautiful now you've sprayed it with one of my favourite colours!!
