Hi! Today I wanted to quickly share my process of creating a recycled vinyl record clock.
I hope you enjoy the video~
Thanks for watching!!
These records are not in playable condition.
After the paint has cured for several days, it gets a glossy coat of spray varnish.
I use a Cricut machine to make the vinyl letters and numbers, but you don't have to, as you can see from the examples. I like to add another layer of spray varnish after attaching the vinyl letters/numbers. Even though I use permanent vinyl, I like the added protection of sealing them in, plus it adds even more of a glossy shine, which I love.
I usually attach felt to the back of the record (well, my husband does this step for me, lol). He uses spray Loctite, spraying the back of the record as well as a piece of felt that is larger than the record. He waits until it gets a little tacky, then presses the felt onto the record. It's a good idea to lay the record on a soft towel to prevent any dents or damage to the paint/varnish while gently pressing the felt onto the back of the record. After drying, trim the excess felt with scissors.
The last step is to attach the clock hands and mechanism. I know I will probably get questions on which clock hands I use. It took me FOREVER to find the correct ones, so I bought a ton, but unfortunately, they are no longer available where I used to get them. I did buy a few trial ones since, but they needed to be cut down as they were too long. When looking for hands, just look for the measurements and lengths.
