Once you have all your materials, set them up outside or in your garage to prevent making a mess inside. First, spray-paint the plywood’s entire surface and sides. Allow the paint to completely dry. Then, mix equal parts of your epoxy resin in a plastic cup, stirring the contents until thoroughly combined. Split the mixture into multiple cups and mix your pearl powders into each cup to create different resin colors. TikTok user @atouchofglam1 used an off-white base and silver hues for her clock. Apply the base color to the entire plywood surface, spreading it with your hands or a hair dryer to get a smooth finish. Use a heat gun to remove air bubbles.
Next, create different patterns with the pearl pigments, using a wooden stick to blend them with the base. Once you make your patterns, use the hair dryer to spread the pigment to create a marble effect. You can end here and top it with a clear resin to seal everything or add crushed glass or diamonds to create a geode effect and give your clock some sparkle. If you add the glass, apply a layer of resin to seal it, and use your heat gun to spread and cure it. You can top it off with extra glitter. After the resin dries and sets, outline the patterns with a silver metallic marker to add definition. Finally, attach the frameless clock to your finished board and hang it in any room.
