Fabric and Embroidery Ikea Clock Makeover

by on Mar 26, 2009

Derek and Lauren over at Design Sponge have been tinkering with clocks. This inexpensive Ikea clock was taken apart and re-styled it into a quaint, cotton print, embroidered timepiece. You could swing this in a more mod vibe by covering the face with a solid color of felt, embroidering contrasting numbers and painting the frame in a modern coordinate color. The possibilities are endless and it looks like a relatively fast project. Make a few and give them as gifts to friends who spend endless hours sewing or working in their shop. See their step by step tutorial.

You’ll need:

clock

scissors

fabric

marking pen

cardboard

spray paint

spray adhesive

embroidery hoop, needle and floss
