How to Make a Wall Clock

Making your own unique wall clock is an inexpensive project. All you need are some tools you may already have around the house plus items to make your clock work that you can buy from a craft or hobby store.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Plate or charger (or use floor tiles); a charger made of wood is easier to drill.
• Measuring ruler
• Pencil
• Drill
• Screw driver
• Clock movement (includes clock hands and battery)
• Acrylic paint
• Stencils
• Decals or stickers of numbers
• Picture hanger and hook
• Pieces of wood or dice and domino chips to use as numbers
• Glue

1. Using a ruler and pencil, mark the center of the plate or tile. Do a perpendicular line to get the middle from top to bottom and left side to right side.
2. Using a fine drill bit, drill the center.
3. Mark the numbers using stickers, stencils, cut wood, decorative items, dice chips, domino chips or free-hand style painted using acrylic paint of numbers 1 to 12.
4. Attach the clock movement in the center by placing the machinery that includes the battery and winder at the back and the hour and minute hand on the front.
5. Attach a picture hanger on the back of the finished clock.
6. Find an area on your wall to hang your wall clock. Attach a picture hook on the wall and then hang your new wall clock.
