Tutorial, Wall art," Save money, Live better": reuse! Part I

Hello, dear readers!

It's been a while since I have posted, for a good reason... I was crafting!
I really wanted to make all the wall art for my home by myself.
My idea for those pieces was to recycle/reuse as much as I can and to do with what I already have at home. Not buying anything.
So here is the first of the six I've done so far.

I absolutely wanted French words in the dinning area, it took some time to figure out wich words would be most relevant, my husband suggested Bon  Appétit, and I agreed. The font is the one called English, funny cause we choose it for it's French style.
The wood comes from a bench that the previous owner of my house left. It was naturally distressed by the Dutch weather so it was perfect for the style I wanted. Later on the process I found that the natural distressed look was not useful since I decided to use the craquelé effect.
Tutorial after the jump...

Colaholic clock

As a real cola addict, I had to give it a try!
I found this Co.. Co..  tray at the "cheap stuff shop" for 2.49 euro down town.
I already had in hand an old clock mecanism, so I only had to make a hole in the middle of the tray to put in place the mecanism.
Then, I finally found a way to use those cans tabs that I saved for months (I still have plenty of them), thanks to my younger sister, she saved for me the red ones from France.
I really think it turns out well, I'm pleased with the end product!
Tell me what you think!
