Making a beautiful scene using a wooden clock shell with solar lite

This is the clock shell I will be using.  You could use any clock shell for this project.

To cover the hole in the back wall of the case you need a piece of hard cardboard, this piece I’m using I got off a cardboard placemat.

This is a picture of the circle I cut out to fit the hole in the back of the shell.

I needed to bring the inside bottom up so I used a Styrofoam material to bring it up.

The last piece of Styrofoam I cut, I glued on a piece of indoor/outdoor grass looking carpeting.

This is what it looks like on top of the Styrofoam.

For two of the items that I will be gluing down on the inside, I used a disco looking Christmas ball and the base of this cheap candle stick.

I glued the ball on top of the candlestick base.  I need to make two of these.

I will also be using this angel figurine.

Here I'm showing you the two pictures I got off the internet that I will be using.  The background picture which is a stairway to heaven and a saying I typed out, "Angels here on earth". I glued them down with tacky glue.

I painted the inside of the clock shell the same blue I painted one side of the cardboard circle I cut out from the cardboard earlier. Now I am gluing this piece into the back hole opening.

In this picture I glued in the two disco ornaments that I made earlier and the angel figurine.  I also glued in some small fake flowers.  You will also see some lace trim I glued around the opening.  The crown on the top was a piece I cut out of a playing card.

I had this very small piece of decorative trim lying around and I thought this is the perfect time to use it.

In this picture I did some detail painting using metallic gold paint from folk art collection.  I also glued on the trim and added some jewels to the bottom.

This is what the back of the clock shell looks like.  You can see the picture part of the cardboard I made so you can see it in the back, the other side has the picture of the stairway to heaven glued down onto it.  I drilled a hole in this circle for a solar light cap.  You will see what it looks like on the inside. As you can see on the clock case box it used to be a clock.  When I bought this at a garage sale it was just the case no clock was in it so I got it cheap.

Here is the solar light I’m using.  I bought it from Walmart, they sell single solar lights and it costed me 97 cents.

This is what it looked like lit up.

I used a piece I got from something I took apart, I put it around the solar light on the inside of the clock case.

Now this is what it looks like.

This is what the back looks like with the solar light.  Use your imagination and it will soar!
