Stylish wall or a table clock are able to radically influence the mood in the interior, adding some of their own flavor to it. And wrist chronometers can change a person’s image. However, in search suitable option You can spend a lot of time and still not find what you need. In today's article we bring to your attention ideas on how you can make a watch yourself; the master class describes in detail various techniques making and decorating watches.
From the plate, using the decoupage technique, you can make very beautiful timepieces, which can become a gift for loved ones, especially those who are constantly late.
1. Find an unnecessary vinyl record and remove the label. It is better to choose one with a white center - it is almost impossible to paint red with white acrylic.
2. We purchase a clock mechanism or take it out of an unnecessary watch.
3. Prime the plate from a spray can. You can simply paint the surface with acrylic using a sponge, but further work will be more convenient if you prime it with an aerosol. Dry it.
4. Use a sponge to paint the background. We chose a slightly golden acrylic. Waiting for it to dry again.
6. Glue rice paper on top. We work with it the same way as with a regular decoupage napkin.
7. Apply at least 3 layers of varnish.
8. We make marking drawings and paste numbers of the appropriate size.
9. We cut the hole that was sealed during the process again; After turning the scissors a couple of times, we enlarge the hole for the clock mechanism to the desired size.
10. Insert the mechanism and put on the hands.
11. If the mechanism does not come with a hinge, you can glue it with Moment glue.
12. Also, if necessary, the arrows can be painted in a contrasting color.
13. Insert the battery.
So we learned how to do Wall Clock with our own hands, the master class also revealed to us the features of working in the decoupage technique.
We continue to use decoupage to decorate the watch, but we can also use another decoration option. In this case, we will make our own watches from coffee beans, and the master class below is dedicated to this very topic.
Materials:
1. Prime the surface of the workpiece.
2. Paint one side with white paint, the other with brown.
3. Apply PVA glue diluted in a ratio of 1:2 onto a dry surface. We wet the napkin and glue it on top. Cover with glue again. We apply a wet stationery file and roll it on top with a roller, getting rid of air bubbles. Leave until completely dry. Then we coat it with varnish.
4. Using a contour, draw the boundaries of filling with coffee beans.
5. After 10-20 minutes we can start decorating with grains. For this small area cover with stained glass paint and carefully place coffee on it in random order, moving it towards each other with a toothpick.
6. After an hour, the paint will dry and everything will stick.
7. The dial can be made from improvised materials, the same coffee beans, you can draw numbers using an outline. Using the same outline, you can draw additional details: even butterflies, if you think they are appropriate.
8. All that remains is to insert the clock mechanism and the battery into it.
Such a clock can be hung in the kitchen: if you have not varnished the grains, they will give off an aroma for a long time.
In this selection you will find other options for making your own watches.

Bored of the mediocre interior? We will share ideas on how you can decorate any room using unusual handmade clocks.
Happy hours are not observed. However, decorative wall clocks can become not only a wonderful addition to any interior, but also an original gift.
You will need a clock mechanism (you can buy it in a special store or take it from an old watch), some flat object to create a dial and a little imagination.
This idea will appeal to creative people.
You will need:
1. Wash the sieve thoroughly and dry.
2. Using a ruler and pen, mark where you want the dominoes to go. Glue them to the sieve and leave until completely dry.
3. Install the clock mechanism as indicated in the instructions on its packaging.
Set the time on the clock and hang it on the wall.
You will need:
Make a hole in the center of the vinyl record. Attach the mechanism to the back side and the arrows to the front side.
A vinyl record can be given unusual shape. To do this, you need to put it in a preheated oven for a few minutes, then take it out using oven mitts and “blind” any shape from the melted plate.
If you can't find a clock mechanism, you can creatively repurpose an old wooden clock.
You will need:
1. Unscrew the clock mechanism.
2. Paint the edge of the dial with color acrylic paint. Wait for it to dry.
3. Place the dial on the design with a floral motif and trace the outline of the clock. Then cut out a circle slightly smaller than the clock face.
Hello! Remember, as you taught your kids about time, that it can be measured using seconds, minutes, etc.; and what is special device for this. Or perhaps you still have to tell your little ones about all this? Then I will suggest one very effective method. Together we need to make a clock with our own hands for children from cardboard. You can devote your working time to telling a story about short seconds, minutes rushing forward, and such huge hours that seem to last forever, especially for kids. Yes and creative work will not remain without a trace, the little ones develop by doing it.
What to hide for modern man no matter how big or how small, the wrapper is important. Even the same candy may seem tastier if it is wrapped in a candy wrapper with your favorite movie character, rather than in parchment. Therefore, the learning process should be packaged in a beautiful wrapper: use your favorite Lego men, cars, stickers, prints of super heroes, everything that your child likes, that he is willing to look at for hours, and that he is even willing to sleep with.
Or even make it in the form of a wrist bracelet; I think kids will also appreciate this option.
Regarding the teaching system, choose the one that you think is more understandable to your child and which you can teach “without stuttering.” Some people make watches like real ones without minutes, others hide the minutes under a leaf so they can “peep.” Someone, on the contrary, makes a double dial, where both the hours and minutes are clearly visible, and even the hands move in their own circle, clearly pointing to the number. And someone makes a clock with the task of sticking the corresponding number of minutes on Velcro, and even below you can put in separate numbers what happened (for example, 10:30). Of course, it is more convenient to make such watches with Velcro from felt, although Velcro can also be glued onto cardboard. The main idea!
Or you can improve your regular home clock by sticking minutes in a circle for quick learning.
In a word, what are we still talking about? It's time to get down to business! We have a universal, basic master class coming up that you can take as a basis for your idea.
Now we will try together do under the tree. But first, just a few words about the tools we will use to make, and the children’s possible help.
A few important points:
Now we are completely ready! Forward!
A cork round hot stand was chosen as the basis for the watch. But you can get by with corrugated cardboard.

He himself doesn’t notice how old he is.

Even in ancient times, people knew how to navigate in time and space:
according to the stars, according to the sun, even then the first sundial.
Man has invented all sorts of clocks throughout his existence: lunar, water, candle, sand, oil.
Such an ingenious invention could not fail to find universal application. Many of the first watches served humanity long and faithfully, but over time, more modern and convenient watch models appeared.
In today’s dynamic world, you have to appreciate every minute, as the saying “time is money” becomes more relevant every year. In order to control yourself, you simply need to have a good sense of time.
Teaching a child to navigate a clock correctly is a real art. This kind of activity requires a lot of time to be spent explaining the different names for the same designation. The main thing is patience and the ability to wait, and not immediately demand skills and abilities from the child.
The first and best tool is a home clock with hands, which we will make today.
They go all the time.
Not a person. (watch)
We don't sleep during the day
We don't sleep at night
And day and night
We knock, we knock. (watch)
I have no legs, but I walk
I have no mouth, but I will say,
When to sleep, when to get up,
When to start work. (watch)
Here's a hut with arrows,
And inside there sits a cuckoo
And shouts: “Kuk-ku, kuk-ku!
I guard the minutes!" (clock)
Watch.
When to go to bed and get up
When should we start a game?
When to sit down for a lesson
When there is a pie with raspberries -
The clock will tell us everything exactly,
So that the question: “What time is it?” -
You could answer every time.
A watch is a mystical gift.
It's not time that has power over you,
And you are above him - let him be bright
Yours every day and every hour!
The clock does not tolerate inattention,
And in happiness, be sensitive to the clock.
They are wealth and recognition
They bring it to us at the appointed hour.
