Here is the Wall Clock I made. I know you liked it :). Go and grab some Old News Papers or Magazines and follow the simple steps I'm showing.
Lets get started,,,,,
Step: 1
Let me show the items we need, before starting the process.
You will need these 4 items.
- Magazines [2 ct]
- Clock Machine
- Glue
- Straw
I want colors in my clock here and there. That is reason I used Magazines.
If u want only Black and White, you can use News Paper.
Step: 2
Take one paper and place the straw at one end and start rolling. Roll the paper tightly but not too much tight. Roll till the end as shown in the above picture.
Apply some glue at the end of the roll, remove the excess glue and paste it.
Take out the Straw from the roll.
Step: 3
Place the roll on the ground and press it gently from one edge to the other. Make some rolls like this.
I made around 200 rolls like this
Step: 4
Take one roll and start rolling tightly from one end. Once you reach the other end apply some glue and join one more roll and continue with rolling. Repeat the process until you get your desired size.
While making the roundel, don't forget to count the number of rolls you are using to make one roundel. This way, you will get even sized roundels.
Step: 5
Make 12 roundels like this for the 12 numbers.
Make them evenly.
Make one big roundel like this for the center part.
Apply glue throughout the strip, otherwise it will become loose.
Before starting the center part, check the size of your machine [which will be written on the back side of the package]. Leave that much space in the middle as shown in the picture to fix the machine.
Step: 6
Make 4-inch 12 Strips like this by folding the paper.
Do not make these too thick.
I did not use any straw.
Step: 7
Now we have to connect the Small Roundels to the center part.
Make a little gap in the small roundel by using toothpick and insert the strip into that gap. Insert the other end into the center part by making a small gap. Bring them close.
Step: 8
Cut the excess part of the strip and join the two strip edges by using glue. Be careful while joining the edges. Because this is the only thing that is connecting the Center part and the Small Roundels.
Let it Dry for sometime.
After Connecting all the 12 Small Roundels to the center part, it will look like this.
Step: 9
Fix the machine at the center as per the manual given in its package.
After doing this much process, I didn't feel like taking any risk. So for more safety I placed some plasters on the backside.
Step: 10
Ta DA,,,,,,,
Your Wall clock is ready.
Hang it on the wall carefully.
This is how it looks on the wall.
You can customize the size as per your requirements.
You can make & present this for a Housewarming function. They're gonna love it :)
Please feel free to ask if you have any questions.
