Phonograph Record Clock
Designs and Instructions by Marlene Watson

This is a fun way to recycle a 33 phonograph record and a CD and turn it into a one of a kind clock. So easy and a quick project!


Supplies Needed:

  • 33 record

  • CD

  • Acrylic paint in colors of your choice

  • Make up sponge

  • Summer Bears & Blooms CD

  • Ink Jet Shrink Plastic

  • DecoArt Acrylic sealer/ Finisher, Matte

  • Clock kit with short shank

Here’s How:

1. Using the make up sponge, apply the paint to both sides of the record. If you are using two colors of paint the sponge dipped in both colors at once will give a nice marbled look. Let dry and apply a coat of spray sealer on both sides.

2. Print the desired designs from the CD onto the Shrink Plastic. Cut out and shrink in a oven or toaster oven following manufacturer instructions. Spray each shrunk shape with spray sealer.

3. Glue CD in center of record with label side down. Referring to photo, glue shapes on record with Bear shapes at the 3 - 6 - 9 - 12 points. Glue hearts for the other numbers. Glue Butterflies and Bees around edge of CD.

4. Insert clock works and you are FINISHED!!!
