Planked Clock

Well, well. Fancy seeing you all here! Long time no see, right!? Pardon my little break from the blogging world! I needed a few weeks to disconnect and refresh, and that is exactly what I did! I spent little to no time on social media and paused all of my home projects. I’m not gonna lie, it felt good. However, I missed blogging so much! I feel like that is when you know that  your passion really truly is just that! I am ready to jump right back in! And I have a lot on my to-do list! So let’s start with this one.

I planked a clock. Simple as that. It was an easy way to make my cute vintage style clock pop a little bit more. Good ole Chip & JoJo have made the planked wall, or shiplap even more popular than it already was, I thought since I haven’t added that touch yet to our house maybe this project would hold me over until we do. Rational thinking, right?

SUPPLIES NEEDED:

  • 2ft x 2ft plywood
  • 1 x 2 furring strip
  • Ruler
  • Pencil
  • Staple Gun
  • 5/8″ Brads
  • Saw
  • White Paint
  • Paint Roller
  • Picture Hangers
  • Nails
  • Hammer

 

INSTRUCTIONS:

-I first started by measuring out six even planks from the 2x2ft piece of plywood at 4in each. (*Note: Six planks ended up being too long for my clock, so when I finished I ended up cutting off the last plank)

– I then used my saw to cut each strip from the plywood.

-Once each of the 6 strips were cut, I used my staple gun, filled it with brads instead of staples, and nailed each piece onto the cut 1x2in furring strips. I used a nickel in between each strip to space them out evenly.

-I also cut a piece of the furring strip to go across the back of the planks so that I could place a nail in the front to hang the clock on. I also added two picture hangers so it would be ready to hang on the wall.

-Next, I painted the planks with a bright white paint and once dry, my clock was ready to be hung!

    This is so cute! The black and white color scheme looks so nice and clean-cut! Very simple and tasteful! This seems like it is relatively easy to do from home, especially with such clear and thorough instructions like you have provided! Thanks so much for sharing!
