The base is painted black, and the top is sealed with a clear coat to keep it from staining.

I love the look of this concrete clock and it’s actually a lot easier than it looks to make!

You can use a silicone mold to make the shape of the clock and then add the clock hands to the center.

You can also use a stencil to add numbers to the outer edge of the clock if you want to.

I love how this clock has a modern, industrial look to it and it’s the perfect addition to any room.

You can even customize the color of the clock hands to match your decor.
