Wall clock craft for my kids.

avatar

Hello everyone, It is always an amazing time to be here,i had a great day and hopefully am looking forward to a profiting weekend
Today i decided to make used of an old carton.
In this community, i have learnt not to be wasteful,i try as much as possible to make good use of dispostable things.
So, today i created a world clock for my kids to help them in learning and to know the correct time

Here are the materials that i used

  • A flat plate
  • A carton
  • pen/pencil
  • Scissors
  • Glue
  • A piece of red fabric
  • Red colour beads

The first steps i took was to used the flat plate,i made a circle drawing on the carton with pen
And i cut out the design.

Next step.
I got a smaller cover,and i drew small circles on the carton

Next step.
I started numbering each circle.

Next step.
I cut each numbers out with a Scissors

Next step
I got a glue and gumed each of the numbers to the bigger circle carton.

Next steps
I took the carton and cut out the long and the short hand ( hour hand and the minute hand)for the clock
I needed to make it colorful since it was to be used by kids,so i used a red crayon and coloured it.

Next step.
I created a tiny hole on the carton,just to be able to fixed the hour/minutes hand.

Next step
I got a paper,i folded it and fixed it on the hole, i had created,so that the hour and the minutes hand can easily rotate.

Next
I inserted the hour/minutes haands on the clock.


Next step
My intentions was to design on it,a teddy bear image,so i got another cover and i drew a small circle on the carton,i cut it out, trimmed of the side to create the ear of the teddy design.

Next step.
I designed the eyes the nose and the mouth

Next step
I got my piece of red fabric and i did a little bow on it.
I just wanted it to be beautiful for my kids.

I believe this will get their attention and learning how to know the time is going to be great fun

Thank you so very much for going through my loat.
