Personalized Teacher Subway Art Clock - free download

Aloha! 

In true procrastinator fashion, I finished the gift for my daughter's teacher this morning! The poor thing was begging me to hurry as I (of course) had to take pics before lovingly wrapping it while she was shoveling oatmeal down. Just another typical school morning! Ha!


Luckily all the design work was done last night, and I only had to print and glue it to one of my $5 Walgreens clocks this morning. It really only took me 10 minutes to put it together. Super easy. Read my Parisian Clock or my Union Station Clock for details on how I cut out and put them together. But here's how this one started:


Add some numbers and a bunch of words that remind me of teachers, along with my daughter's teacher's name, and you have a lovely, personalized, $5 Christmas gift!









Here is the generic (no personalization) version available as a free download for you! Simply click on the downward pointing arrow, and your PDF will display. Print both of them at full size (don't reduce to fit margins, etc. if your printer asks). Please live Aloha and become a follower if you use one of my free downloads. ;)

UPDATE: Please visit this link if you would like one to fit the Walmart $4 clock with 7.75" wide face.

Aloha,

charlie

I'll be joining the CSI girls for their Typography week projects!

  18. I've seen many takes on subway art, but I love the idea of placing it where we see it unconsciously, on a clock.

    That would make a fun place for resolutions for a vision board.

    Thanks for inspiring me! Following you now so I remember this project.

    If you have a minute, please link this up to my creative juice party...
