errrr...I mean, please spin me the salt!
I found this Lazy Susan at Big Lots and immediately thought of a clock
and that's what it was going to be,
besides being a Lazy Susan!
I painted it with black craft paint
then with my Cricut - I cut out the Roman Numerals
on Contact Paper...placed them all in order
If you look closely you'll see I made some mistakes first attempts
with my markings on where to place the numerals!
Now, I forgot to take pictures - I'll explain...
I then painted it with white craft paint,
then painted a second coat of (off white) craft paint.
Let it dry.
Removed the Contact Paper numerals...
and sanded, sanded sanded...
the two colors of white show through and it has
a more aged look
Up close look at my sanding job!
now we spin the salt or pepper ~
please spin me the salt at 7:00!

I have a lazy susan that I use when serving tacos, etc., but mine doesn't have the personality that yours does. You did a great job and it really is a clever idea. Joni

Hi! I just found your blog today and I love all of your projects. I am your newest follower. I love this Lazy Susan! I found one at Good Will a long time ago that I have been saving not sure what I wanted to do with it. Now I know! I painted a clock on an old piece of wood a while ago...now I am going to do the same on my Lazy Susan. Great idea! Thanks!
