Farm Fence Clock

So the fence isn't a farm fence. We removed part of ours for our home addition to be finished. I reassembled it and went to work. I got this idea from the super talented girls over at Alchemy Junk. Here is what I did.
Took my fence piece and cleaned it up.

Then I watered down some cream acrylic paint and white washed the whole thing.

Next, I made a compass with a nail and a piece of string. I used a small paint brush instead of a pencil.

I then went back over it with a thicker paint brush.

My awesome neighbor let be borrow her cricut and I cut out an I,V,and X and used them as stencils. I used watered down black paint.

Here she is with all her numbers...

Then I sanded her down. All around the edges, each number and the circle to tone down the black.

Now she needed a little rusting. I combined red, yellow and brown paint with a little water and rubbed it over all the holes.


And here she is in all of her fabulousness!
