Smoothfoam Vintage Clock Tutorial

I'm happy to share with you my second project for Smoothfoam! What I loved about making this clock (besides the fact that it was easy and fun!) was being able to gather some of my favorite stickers, stamps, bottle caps, game pieces and other ephemera into pretty clusters all around the clock face.

Here are what you need to make this clock. You can give the clock your personal touch by adding more of your favorite embellishments.

10″ Smoothfoam disc
