3. Give your clock a fresh new look with a coat of paint. This color already fit with my decor, so I decided to keep it.
4. Gather your scrapbook paper. I chose a lighter printed paper for the back round and a darker paper for the monogram.

6. Cut out your monogram on the blank paper. I used my Cricut to cut, but a stencil and scissors would work great too.
