Model "Handicraft"
To create this watch you will need decorative buttons and a regular embroidery hoop. The dial will be fabric, the color and print of which matches room design. In addition, prepare:
- tape;
- a piece of cardboard;
- internal mechanism from old walkers.
Now let's see how to make such a watch with your own hands.
The process is intuitive. We stretch the fabric onto the hoop, cut off the excess and sew buttons to the resulting base so that they imitate the location of the numbers on the dial.
Sew buttons onto fabric
Now we need to prepare the substrate. We will cut it out of cardboard for our clock. The part must have a hoop diameter and be inserted with inside. Its strength is enough to hold the hands and the mechanism itself. For reliability, the insert can be glued to the fabric. All that remains is to attach a loop and hang the accessory on the wall.
Attach the clock mechanism
This technology is often used to assemble themed watches, for example, New Year's ones. To emphasize their connection to the event, it is enough to add adequate decor in the form of: serpentine, golden cones, improvised snowdrifts. It will be easy to change the topic if desired. The ability to change the design of the accessory will allow you to play with the perception of the environment of the entire surrounding space, which will greatly appeal to fans of frequent changes of scenery.

Paper clock
You can assemble wonderful colorful wall clocks with your own hands from magazine and newspaper sheets. Cooking:
- pencil;
- scissors;
- silk thread;
- transparent adhesive tape;
- igloo;
- cardboard;
- 24 magazine sheets of identical format;
- a pair of transparent plastic disks.
The latter can be found in CD packaging.
There are different master classes for making paper watches with your own hands, but in our case we will twist paper blanks. To do this, we wrap a magazine sheet around a pencil and get a tube. To ensure that the workpiece retains its shape, we fix the free edge with adhesive tape.
Roll up paper blanks
When all 24 parts are ready, each of them will need to be bent, thus separating 1/3 of the length.
We will sew the tubes along this fold, collecting them into a ring.
Gather the tubes into a ring
Carefully lay out the sewn paper watch blanks on the table and place a transparent disc on top. This must be done so that the central holes of the elements coincide.
Insert and assemble the clock mechanism
We insert and assemble the clock mechanism. On the back side we will hide it under a second plastic disk and a similar shaped cardboard base. Now screw on the arrows - and you're done!
Finished watches from magazines
Cardboard clock
They can be made simple, in a flat projection, or you can sweat a little and assemble them real imitation walkers. This DIY watch craft is quickly assembled from boxes. The case will need a rectangular packaging box, perhaps even a shoe box. Everything here will depend on what size you plan to make the product.
Example of a clock from a cardboard box
The first thing we will do is attach two ribbons to the bottom of the box. Then we will hang cones on them. Assembling the clock from cardboard will continue to work on the dial. We cut it out using a stencil and attach it to the front side of the craft.
Now let's take care of the roof. We assemble its design from two thin boxes and two triangular pieces of cardboard.
Decoration ideas will be suggested by photos of handmade watches, which you can unlimited quantity find it on the Internet.
Bicycle wheel
A clock made of cardboard, a clock made of paper... What do you think of the idea of a clock made from a bicycle wheel? Since the base is quite large, you will need to find an appropriately sized clock mechanism that can rotate large hands. Working on wall clock with our own hands, we will take ordinary school rulers. Let's give them the required length. We attach triangles to the ends, symbolizing an arrow. Moving elements should be clearly visible against the background of the disk, so if the design of the product allows, the arrows can be painted in a suitable color.
Attach the tin lid
There is one trick to creating such watches with your own hands. To balance the movement of the hands, a counterweight will need to be attached to the larger one. Its role is usually played by washers. This makes it easier to select an adequate mass.

She is rather demanding in detail, so new handmade can be considered a completely acceptable hobby for beginning designers. In a similar way, you can decorate clocks made of cardboard, gramophone records, and wood. For pasting the base, you should choose a pattern that you personally like and does not dislike the interior style.

How to decorate a New Year's watch?
“When making a New Year’s clock with your own hands, it would be nonsense to forget about coniferous branches”
In addition to all kinds of tinsel and toys, it is recommended to attach real cones, scatterings or bunches of berries, and bows to crafts. Imitations of snow are welcome. It can be drawn, sprayed with a toothbrush and paint, or applied with applique. Naturally, when making a New Year's clock with your own hands, it would be nonsense to forget about coniferous branches. However, live options are not always suitable. For example, they simply cannot stay on a paper watch due to their weight, so in such a situation you will have to use their artificial counterparts.

A kitchen clock is a necessary, useful and, in general, ordinary thing. Few people think about their design, because the main thing is that they show the time correctly, helping to control the process of preparing various dishes.
But try to make a wall clock for the kitchen with your own hands - and you will notice that the atmosphere in this room has subtly changed.
Of course, we are not talking about assembling and adjusting the clock mechanism yourself - you should use a ready-made one, bought in a store or removed from an old watch. But you can really get creative with the design of the dial.
Handmade kitchen clock
Many of us have some kind of hobby related to needlework. These skills can be used to make watches, even if you think it is impossible. In fact, watches can be knitted, embroidered, woven, drawn, etc.
Don't believe me? Look at the following photos.
As you can see, a little imagination and skill - and your kitchen will acquire a real handmade designer item.
If you don’t know how to sew, embroider, or draw, you can come up with something else, no less interesting (see also the article about). You might like one of the ideas we suggested in this article or video.
Watches made from scrap materials
Look into the cabinets and drawers in your kitchen, and you are sure to find many unnecessary or worn-out items that can still serve in another capacity. For example, an old pot lid, the only plate left from a set, or a flour sieve can be an excellent base for a watch.
And here are the options for using them:
- Unscrew the handle from the old lid and you will have a watch case with a finished hole in the center. The lid can be spray painted, painted, or decorated with stickers. A watch mechanism with a battery is attached to the back of it, and hands are attached to the front part.
- The simplest and most original kitchen clock can be made from disposable tableware: plates and plastic cutlery. This idea is not new, but still interesting. Exactly the same as in the previous case, all you have to do is glue the clock mechanism to the back and install the hands.
Advice. Instead of a disposable plate, it is better to use a more rigid base - a lid from a mayonnaise bucket or a circle cut out of thick cardboard.
- If you need a fairly large art object, take a large tray of any shape, drill a hole in the middle and use good glue attach twelve coffee cups to it. Further instructions are similar to the previous ones.
These ideas should not be copied literally, but used only as hints. For example, instead of a lid, an excellent case for a watch could be a frying pan with a handle or an old vinyl record.
Coffee clock
Coffee beans are a favorite material for making various crafts among craftsmen.. They can also be used to decorate watches. They are especially appropriate in the kitchen, as they will not only show the time, but also exude a magical aroma.
It is not necessary to make a watch with your own hands; you can use existing ones, and just decorate them with coffee beans, sticking them directly on the dial or on the bezel of the case. Although you can come up with your own composition. Watch the master class to understand how to work with this material and what it can be combined with.
Advice. Instead of coffee, you can use any other grains, as well as pasta. If you paint them with spray paint, you can create an interesting ornament or a whole picture.
Decoupage
Today this method of decoration has found a second life, because it allows you to create truly unique things. Its essence is extremely simple: it is a regular applique, which is coated with varnish on top to protect the design.
Sometimes craquelure varnishes are used, creating small cracks on the surface and giving the effect of antiquity.
For kitchen clocks, you can use paper napkins with a pattern that matches the style and color. They are glued to the prepared base with PVA glue diluted with water. After drying, you can draw on the outlines, stick or write numbers, and then cover it all with acrylic varnish.
Wooden clock
If you enjoy working with wood and the style of your kitchen calls for this kind of decor, you have a huge opportunity.
- You can make a DIY kitchen wall clock from a thin cut of wood (see also the article about kitchen wall clocks). It just needs to be sanded, varnished or stained and a hole drilled for attaching the hands.
- Remember the old cuckoo clock that used to hang in almost every village house? Their likeness can be made from wooden planks and decorated with salt dough figures.
- Another one interesting idea, which your children or grandchildren will like. Cut a circle from thick plywood, and drill 12 thin holes at its end at equal intervals. We won’t remind you about the clock mechanism and hands - everything is as usual. But the role of time indicators should be played by lollipops inserted into pre-made holes. Just don’t remove the wrapper from them ahead of time.
Advice. Make a supply of lollipops to insert them in place of those that will constantly and mysteriously disappear.
Conclusion
Hooray! I am officially a shoemaker with boots. I watched enough of the participants in our master class at HVOE making wall clocks, and now (less than six months have passed) we have a tropical time keeper in our kitchen.
At the beginning of May, our HVOE hosted a master class where we made wall clocks with our own hands. The idea for the workshop came up back in January, and it was a pleasure to implement it. Here, very conveniently, the clock in the kitchen broke, which I had long since stopped liking. Combined business with pleasure. Firstly, I did new device to determine the time, secondly, an article for the blog, and thirdly, I included my favorite tropical decor this summer.
Why make a watch yourself when you can buy one?
And it’s clear that something made with your own hands is done with soul and from the heart. Perhaps the purchased ones will be of better quality and with a guarantee, but there are more advantages to making a wall clock with your own hands:
- you can implement any idea (for example, like mine with the tropics)
- choose exactly the size you need
- find the correct arrows and mechanism
- start to understand a little better how wall clocks work
- proudly inform everyone that you made them yourself (and this is not just a card or a flower, but a whole device).
What to make a dial for a wall clock from
When thinking about a panel for a dial, it is worth remembering that a watch can be not only round, but also triangular, square, or even in the shape of a flower.
- The panels can be ordered at the laser cutting workshop
- find and buy ready-made plywood in an online store or in a craft store
- make from cork backing or thick thick cardboard
- cut from drywall
- made from wood cut
- or from a vinyl record.
How to decorate a wall clock
There are a lot of ways to decorate a wall clock, it all depends on your desire to create and bother.
- You can print and paste the finished picture
- paint with acrylic paints
- draw something with watercolors, cut and glue
- glue three-dimensional parts made of thin plywood
- embroider something on fabric and cover it
- You can draw or glue numbers.
Wall clock - materials and tools
Time spent - one and a half hours. We will need:
- round panel made of plywood with a diameter of 30 cm
- clock mechanism with hands
- paper and pencil
- ruler
- acrylic paints and brushes
- palette for mixing paints
- pliers
- scissors.
DIY wall clock - progress of work
The mechanism can be ordered from an online store or used left over from an old watch. There are a couple of points to pay attention to:
- dial thickness
- thread diameter (must match the diameter of the hole in the middle of the panel)
- and the height of the rod (the stump on which everything is held, and on which the arrows are put on).
For example, in my mechanism the height of the rod is only 8 mm, which means that the thickness of the plywood blank should not exceed 4 mm, otherwise there will not be enough space to tighten the nut. The best overall height the rod is 16 mm, and the thread height is 9 mm. This mechanism is suitable for most wooden workpieces.
If there are voluminous parts on the dial, you need to make sure that the hands will not cling to them.
1. Before you start making a wall clock with your own hands, you need to decide where the number 12 will be. To do this, you need to turn the panel over, insert the clock mechanism, mark with a pencil the middle of the top of the mechanism (it will coincide with the middle of the loop) and draw a perpendicular line. It is from here that the countdown will begin and the distance between the numbers will be marked (if they are planned).
2. Take a sheet of paper, trace the outline of the dial on it and draw the decor. This is useful for seeing if the composition looks harmonious before it is too late to change anything. I drew the outlines of the leaves on paper, then cut them out and transferred them to a piece of plywood using a pencil.
3. Color the blank in accordance with the decor. I used white construction acrylic, artist acrylic and colored tinting paste.
4. When the paint is dry, screw on the clock mechanism. There can be a lot of detail that can be used or ignored depending on the thickness of the dial. Usually, the watch mechanism comes with an assembly diagram, which I advise you to follow. We string a rubber backing onto the stem and apply it to the dial on the reverse side. The top (middle of the loop) should coincide with the pencil mark (see point 1).
5. Turn the workpiece over, put the washer on the rod and tighten the nut. Here we need pliers so that we can tighten it more tightly.
6. String the arrows. By the way, I repainted the arrows from white to black. There are also two points here. Firstly, the arrows may be protective film which needs to be removed. Secondly, black artist's acrylic did not adhere very well to metal, so I had to first prime the arrows with artist's white acrylic, and then apply black after drying.
Before stringing, you need to make sure that all the arrows are straight. First we string the hour, then the minute. The second one gets dressed last. They are strung until they click lightly. It is important not to overdo it or be too zealous, so as not to break the delicate fasteners. The hands must be strictly parallel to each other and not touch, otherwise the clock simply will not move.
7. Set all hands to 12 o’clock according to the mark, insert the battery and adjust right time using a special wheel, which can be found on the back of the mechanism.
A couple of evenings, an hour and a half - and I happily used up my time. Take care of your time, spend it with those who give you joy!
Best,
Beautiful wall clocks are always a source of information about time, but they also decorate the interior of an apartment and give it a special charm.
Moreover, if you think that it is very difficult to make a wall clock with your own hands, then you are deeply mistaken. This is a very real task that almost everyone can do. After all, for such a watch you do not need to assemble the mechanism itself.

Classmates
It is taken from old watches or taken out of cheap Chinese alarm clocks. And on this basis, you decorate them to your taste, taking into account the design of your apartment.What are wall clocks made of?
If you decide to make a wall clock yourself or make a grandfather clock with your own hands, then you need to know that this can be made from almost any material. Of course, the most popular is wood. Due to its properties, wooden watches are made by ourselves. different shapes and last quite a long time.
Usually, not only wall clocks, but also grandfather clocks are made from this material. By the way, drawings for the manufacture of wall clocks are usually not required, but they may sometimes be needed for floor structures that have a more complex assembly.
Record clock
Plastic and other materials
Plastic watches are also popular. They are even more durable, but their production is more complex. An original watch can be made from cardboard, and the simplicity with which this can be done is surprising. As a material for a wall clock, you can use paper or, for example, gramophone records.
Note!
It’s quite possible to make a clock for the kitchen from a tin can.
There is a great variety of additional material, used mainly for making arrows. These could be tree branches, buttons, pencils or wire.
Cardboard clock
As we already said, cardboard clock They are made quite simply, so we will now tell you how to make a clock out of cardboard yourself. In order to implement this idea we will need following materials and tools:
- Clockwork. It can be pulled out of an old unnecessary watch.
- A piece of corrugated cardboard. Its dimensions depend on the dimensions of your future product.
- Wooden disk.
- , PVA glue, kraft paper (special high-strength wrapping paper).
- (fine-grained and possibly coarse-grained), hook, decorative elements.
Paper clock
Main stages of execution
First you need to take a disk made of wood (the same goes for wooden clock), and use a hammer drill to make a hole for the clock mechanism. After this, we cut out two circles from cardboard and glue them on both sides and in one of them we also make a hole for the clock mechanism.
Having made the base for the clock, you need to cover the ends of the disk with cardboard, cutting out a piece with a width equal to the thickness of the disk and a length equal to its circumference. We fix it with PVA glue. Then you need to cover the clock with kraft paper and, on the reverse side, fix the hook with which we will hang our product on a nail. By the way, a master class on watch making can be viewed below.
DIY wall clock video:
Final work
Now we need to paint our disk black. It will be enough to do this from the front side. After the surface has dried, we make a hole for the arrows using an awl. Now we need silver paint, which contrasts as best as possible with the black color of the disk, and use it to apply the divisions and numbers on the dial. We paint the arrows with the same color. We finish our work by installing the clock mechanism and decorative decoration ends and edges of the disk.
Note!
This can be done, for example, using rhinestones.
As you can see from the instructions presented, almost anyone can make a watch from cardboard.
Wood clock
Let's look at how quickly you can make a wooden clock. To make them you will need the following materials and tools:
- Wooden disk with a diameter of 330 mm.
- Wooden sticks and balls of small diameter in the amount of 12 pieces.
- Clockwork.
- Sandpaper, glue, .
- Wire cutters and hammer drill.
- Black cardboard and paint in two colors.
- Pencil, scissors, ruler.
Step-by-step instruction
- Sand the disc and balls until smooth surface and wipe them free of dust.
- We cut the wooden sticks to the same length. We choose the length ourselves.
- Using a punch, we will make a hole in the center of the disk intended for the arrows.
- Drill 12 holes at the end of the wooden disk. They will serve as grooves for sticks with balls. The distance between the disks must be the same. To do this, you need to use a protractor and make marks every thirty degrees.
- Pour glue into the holes and fix wooden sticks in them.
- At this stage of making a wooden watch, you need to treat the surface with a primer and, after drying, apply several layers of paint. The paint color, in our case, should be white.
- Now we need to paint the balls red (it is most suitable for a white disk). To make this convenient, we will need a piece of foam plastic and the remains of our wooden sticks. We string balls onto them and paint them, after which we insert them into a piece of foam plastic and wait for them to dry. For painting we use a spray, since it is unlikely that it will be possible to paint evenly with a brush.
- After drying, insert the balls into sticks and “sit” them on the glue.
- The final step will be to install the clock mechanism on the back of the disc and fix the hands to it. We will make the arrows from thick cardboard, painted black.

Paper clock
In order to make a clock out of paper we will need the following materials:
- Clock mechanism and hands.
- The dial is made of wood or other dense material.
- Paper for decoration and buttons.
- Decoupage glue (acts as glue, varnish and sealant), regular glue, paints.
- Small paper plate.
- Ruler, scissors, pencil, pen.
- Brush and foam brush.
Plastic watch
Manufacturing stages
Let's look at how to make a watch with your own hands step by step.
- First, we cut the paper (choose the color that suits you), in the shape of an elongated trapezoid, along the length of the dial. In this case, all pieces must be the same in size and shape. The total area of the paper should be larger than the dial, so that later you can bend the ends. Then we fix the paper to the dial with decoupage glue and wait for it to dry. After this we bend and glue the hanging ends to back side dial.
- Apply decoupage glue to the surface of the dial in several layers. Each subsequent layer is applied to the previous one, but after complete drying. When applied correctly, the surface of the dial will become glossy.
- We mark the dial. This can be conveniently done using paper plate. That is, first we mark all the dots on the plate, then we apply it to the dial and put the dots on it. After that, in place of the numbers, we glue, for example, buttons or something else that your imagination is designed for.
