Wedding Clock Guest Book

With the weather warming up and the beautiful flowers blooming it’s a great time for a wedding! If you are planning a wedding soon, this is a unique idea for a wedding guest “book.” One of my favorite fairy tale stories of all time is the story about Beauty and the Beast. It’s such a great love story! I wanted to make a clock keepsake guest book that could be hung on a wall in the newlyweds home and cherished forever. I couldn’t think of a better love story theme for a clock than a “Tale as old as time.” This project is so simple using these great Walnut Hollow clock kits but it adds such a fun and unique element to remember your guests.

Here is what you will need to make your own Wedding clock guest book:

Walnut Hollow Gallery Clock surface
3/8″ Clock Movement kit
Classic Clock Hands
Walnut Hollow Creative Versa-Tool® Wood burner with a Flow point tip
Wood stain
Pencil
Graphite tracing paper
Satin finish sealant
Foam paint brush

Step 1:

Using a wood stain of your choice, stain your gallery clock surface. I used a dark Oak stain. The Gallery Clock surface comes smooth and ready to use, which I love!

Step 2:

Add your numbers around the face of the clock. This is simple to do if you divide it like a pie into four sections, and then each of those four sections into 3 sections.

Step 3:

Trace the words onto the clock surface using graphite tracing paper. You can freehand this if you’d rather.

Step 4:

Use your Creative Versa-Tool® wood burner to burn the clock numbers and your words into the surface of the clock. I like to use the flow point tip on my wood burner for lettering because it glides over the wood smoothly.

Step 5:

With a foam paint brush apply a satin finish sealant on the clock surface. Sealing the clock adds durability to the finish.

Step 6:

Assemble the clock pieces following the easy directions included on the clock movement package. This was my first time assembling a clock on my own, and it couldn’t have been easier!

I love the beautiful wood grain from the Gallery Clock surface that shows through the stain and those big classic clock hands are the perfect touch!

Now you have a beautiful clock with room to have your guests sign.

A permanent marker works great on the sealed wood surface.

I love finding unique guest books at weddings. Do you have a favorite you’ve seen?
