What to do with these wallpaper samples?

If you follow me on Instagram, you might remember me sharing that Serena & Lily offer free wallpaper samples, which come in really great patterns and colors.

This past weekend, I found a use for this sample below when my mom and I did a little craft together.

She had found this clock at a garage sale for the baby's nursery.

The background was not really my taste so we decided to give it a little makeover.

First, we spray painted the outer part of the clock a pewter color (it was originally gold, I just forgot to take a before picture):

Then, we popped out the inside of the clock and covered it using the wallpaper sample:

Then we stenciled on the numbers...

and added an anchor appliqué from Michaels.

Here's the end result:

We're not the only ones getting creative with these wallpaper samples.
