Materials needed for Ikea Rusch wall clock hack –

1. Ikea Rusch wall clock. Also available on Amazon.

How to makeover an Ikea Rusch Wall clock  –

Step 1: Start by taking the clock apart.

It was pretty simple to remove the top plastic cover using the notches on the side.

Then, I took the needles out one by one followed by the paper clock face.

Step 2:  Cover the clock movement with painters tape to protect it and give it a few coats of spray paint. I used watermelon by krylon. 

Step 3: For the clock face, use the old clock face insert as a template and cut out the scrapbook paper to size.

Glue clock numbers  to create the clock face.

My clock numbers were gold, so I used black craft paint to simply paint them black. I like that they are a matte black.

You could also use a black sharpie or stickers for the numbers. I like the 3 dimensionality the clock face numbers add.

That’s it! I just assembled everything back in steps like I had removed them.

I was a little nervous of mixing up the sequence of the needles. But that is impossible because they only go in a certain way! Ikea makes it totally fool proof 🙂

I ultimately replaced the plastic cover too!

It hangs in the kids’ room and looks amazing!
