How to Make a Frisbee Wall Clock

A plain Frisbee can be transformed into a wall clock.

With a purchased clock mechanism, you can turn just about any relatively flat object into a clock. Clock mechanisms are available at hobby shops, craft stores and home improvement stores. For an unusual clock for a child’s room or the rec room, consider using a Frisbee as the face of the clock.

Things You'll Need

• Rubbing alcohol
• Rag
• Ruler
• Drill and drill bit
• Clock mechanism
• Number stickers
• Battery

Instructions

1. Pour a little rubbing alcohol on a rag and wipe the Frisbee clean of any dirt, handprints or other marks.

2. Measure the Frisbee to determine the center. Drill a hole in the center with your drill just the size for the clock pin to fit through.

3. Put the nut and washer that came with the clock mechanism on the clock pin on the front side of the Frisbee, followed by the clock hands and additional nut.

4. Set the hands to 12:00. Make a little mark with a pen there. Repeat process to find the location for every hour, marking where the number should go as you move around the clock face.

5. Remove the clock hands and apply sticker numbers where you marked your Frisbee wall clock.

6. Put clock hands back on. Insert battery in the clock mechanism and set the time.

Tips & Warnings

• when picking out your numbers remember how big your Frisbee wall clock is going to be and choose accordingly.

• when using the drill be careful as the drill is a power tool and can hurt you if you are not careful.
