Clock made from craft blocks

A clock is always a nice practical, but also decorative decoration in your own four walls. Our clock made from craft blocks is one of a kind! It can be designed however you like and is always an eye-catcher. The plate made of craft blocks, as well as the numbers, hands and the design with colors offer many possibilities to express yourself individually.

This is how you design the clock:

First take 6 craft blocks, place them in front of you and glue them together as you wish to form a panel with VBS handicraft glue together. Put them to one side to dry.

Attach 4 opposing markings to the metal ring where the times 12:00, 3:00, 6:00 and 9:00 will later be. To do this, fix the start of the cotton cord to the metal ring with a little glue. Let it dry briefly. Then wrap approx. 2 cm of cord around the ring and glue the end down again. Repeat this on the other markings.

Now take the wooden surface with the glued-together craft blocks. Measure the center with a ruler, mark this spot with a pencil and drill an 8 mm hole for the clockwork.

Place the metal ring in the center of the wood. Mark the contact points of the metal ring to the right and left of the cotton cord at 12:00 and 6:00 and drill two small holes (approx. 3 mm) in each. Take a piece of cotton cord, and thread it through the drilled holes using a darning needle and use it to tie the metal ring to the wood.

Insert the tip from movement through the wood from behind and turn the whole thing over. Assemble the clock with the washers and hands according to the instructions on the pack.

Finally, glue on the woodennumbers with handicraft glue .
