A man who is wasting his time
he himself does not notice how old he is.
E Schwartz
Even in ancient times, people knew how to navigate in time and space:
by the stars, by the sun, even then the first sundial.
What kind of clock has not been invented by man 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 for a long time 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" is becoming more and more relevant every year. In order to control yourself, you just need to be well-versed in time.
Teaching a child to navigate correctly by the clock is a real art. Such activities have to take a lot of time, to explain the variants of the name of the same designation. The main thing is patience and the ability to wait, not to demand skills and abilities from the child right away.
The first and best manual is a home clock with hands, which we will be making today.

They walk the whole century.
Not a man. (clock)
We don't sleep a day
We don't sleep at night
And day and night
We knock, we knock. (clock)
No legs, but walking
There is no mouth, but I will say
When to sleep, when to get up
When to start work. (clock)
Here is a hut with arrows,
And inside is a cuckoo

And shouts: "Ku-ku, ku-ku!
I guard the minutes! "(Hours)
Clock.
When to lie down and get up
When we start a game
When to sit down for a lesson
When there is a pie with raspberries -
The clock will show us exactly
So that the question: "What time is it?" -
You could answer every time.
A watch is a mystical gift.
Time is not powerful over you
And you are above him - let it be bright
Your every day and every hour!
The clock does not tolerate inattention
And in happiness be a little bit by the clock.
They are wealth and recognition
At the appointed hour they bring us.

Creative success!

Various types of watches accompany us everywhere. Wall, floor, wrist. It is simply impossible to do without them. They are used not only for a practical purpose, to tell the time, but also to decorate the interior. It is quite possible to make a watch with your own hands from scrap materials.

Interesting wall clock options

In fact, there are a lot of options for creating a wall clock at home, but I want to consider the most popular ones.

From vinyl records or discs

How to make wall Clock from vinyl records or disks with your own hands will tell you detailed instructions:

Prepare a vinyl record or disc, remove all stickers and dirt from their surface. If you are using a disc, choose one with a white core. Prepare the clock mechanism in advance, purchase or use from old clocks.

Apply a primer to the surface using a special spray gun and cover with acrylic if necessary. Leave to dry for a while. Make the background of the clock more saturated with acrylic of a bright color or gold.

When using a vinyl record, it is better to decorate its surface using decoupage. To do this, prepare a paper picture or from a napkin, apply a layer of glue to the surface of the dial, moisten the picture and fix it on the glue base. Apply a layer of glue on top, gently smoothing the surface so that no bubbles form, and dry.

Cover the drawing with three coats of acrylic varnish. Make suitable numbers and fix on the dial in the right places.

Make a hole in the center of the plate and fix the mechanism with arrows, which can be of a different color as you wish. Install the battery, put right time and hang the clock on the wall in the right place.

Such a clock, made by hand, can be presented to friends and relatives, or they can decorate the interior of any of the rooms. Many options for do-it-yourself watches using decoupage technique are presented in the photo.

Coffee theme

A clock decorated with coffee beans is suitable for the kitchen. And the creative process will give you a lot of pleasure:

• prepare the clockwork and the base in the shape of a circle;
• for a beautiful decoupage of a watch with your own hands, choose a suitable picture with fragments related to coffee;
• apply a primer to the surface and paint one side in white colorand the other brown. Leave the product to dry;
• cover with adhesive (glue diluted with water - 1: 1);
• lay the picture evenly so that bubbles do not form, and dry;
• schematically depict the location of the grains;
• arrange the coffee beans in the diagram. Lay the grains close to each other, securing with stained glass paint;
• leave the product to dry, then apply the numbers and mount the clockwork;
• fix the decorated surface of the dial with colorless acrylic varnish.

Wooden clock

It is even easier to make original and stylish wooden clocks for ethnic styles of the interior:

• take a cut from a tree suitable shape and size, no more than 3 cm thick;
• clean from bark and unnecessary parts, if necessary, correct the shape of the future dial;
• make a hole in the center for installing the hands and clockwork;
• apply varnish to the surface and let it dry;
• mount the mechanism and secure the numbers.

Plate clock

A plate clock will also decorate the kitchen interior, moreover, it is easy to make them. It is only necessary to drill a hole in the center of the plate, mount the mechanism with arrows and decorate as you wish.

And do-it-yourself master classes will tell and show more detailed order work.

With cutlery

Continuing the kitchen theme, I would like to consider another version of the clock with my own hands using cutlery: forks and spoons.

• take a box from a disk, cut out a circle and paint it in the desired color;
• drill a hole in the center;
• wash cutlery thoroughly, dry and degrease;
• fasten them on the back of the circle at regular intervals, alternating with each other;
• color them in different colors;
• mount a mechanical device and hands, set the time and decorate the kitchen interior with a clock.

Even more best ideas You can find decorative frames for watches with your own hands on the corresponding sites.

Diy watch photo

Stylish wall or table clocks can radically affect the mood in the interior, bring some kind of shade into it. And wrist chronometers can change the image of a person. However, looking for suitable option you can spend a lot of time and still not find the right one. 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 for making and decorating watches.

Diy watch from a record

Using the decoupage technique, you can make very beautiful chronometers from the plate, which can be a gift for loved ones, especially those who are constantly late.

1. Find an unnecessary vinyl record, remove the label. It is better to choose such that the middle is white - it is almost impossible to paint over the red with white acrylic.

2. We buy a clockwork or take it out of an unnecessary watch.

3. We prime the plate from the can. You can simply paint the surface with acrylic using a sponge, but further work will be more convenient if primed with an aerosol. We dry it.

4. Paint the background with a sponge. We chose a slightly golden acrylic. We are waiting for drying again.

• we spread the surface with glue;
• we soak the card;
• apply the card to the adhesive surface;
• apply another layer of PVA on top;
• we expel all air bubbles from under the card with our fingers or a brush;
• dry with a hairdryer.

6. Glue rice paper on top. We work with it in the same way as with a regular decoupage napkin.

7. Apply at least 3 layers of varnish.

8. Make layout drawings and glue numbers of suitable size.

9. Cut the hole glued in the process of work again; turning the scissors a couple of times, we increase the hole for the clockwork to the desired size.

10. Insert the mechanism, put on the arrows.

11. If there is no hinge in the set with the mechanism, then you can glue it on the "Moment" glue.

12. Also, if necessary, the arrows can be painted in a contrasting color.

13. Insert the battery.

So we learned how to make a wall clock with our own hands, the master class also revealed to us the features of working in the decoupage technique.

Coffee clock

We continue to use decoupage to decorate watches, but we also apply another decoration option. In this case, we will make a clock from coffee beans with our own hands, and the master class below is devoted to this particular topic.

Materials:

• workpiece with a hole in the center;
• clockwork;
• a napkin with a beautiful pattern on the theme of coffee;
• coffee beans
• priming;
• water-based decoupage varnish;
• colored acrylic;
• glass contour - silver, gold, bronze;
• stained glass paint;
• sponge, brush, regular and rubber roller, file for papers, toothpick;
• pVA glue.

1. We prime the surface of the workpiece.

2. Paint one side with white paint, the other with brown paint.

3. Spread PVA glue diluted in a 1: 2 ratio on a dry surface. We wet the napkin and glue it on top. Cover with glue again. Apply a wet stationery file and roll it over with a roller, getting rid of air bubbles. Leave it to dry completely. Then we varnish.

4. With a contour draw the boundaries of filling with coffee beans.

5. In 10-20 minutes we can start decorating with grains. To do this, cover a small area 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 means, the same coffee beans, you can draw numbers using a contour. With the same contour, you can draw additional details: even butterflies, if you think they are appropriate.

8. It remains to insert the clockwork, and in it - the battery.

Such a clock can be hung in the kitchen: if you have not varnished the grains, they will give aroma for a long time.

In this selection you will find other options for making watches with your own hands.

And other ways to decorate:

Hey! Remember how you taught your little ones how to count the time that it can be measured in seconds, minutes, etc .; and that there is a special device for this. Or perhaps you still have to tell your crumbs about all this? Then I will suggest one very effective method. We need to make a clock together with our own hands for children from cardboard. You can devote your work time to telling a fairy tale about short seconds, minutes striving only forward and such huge hours that seem to last endlessly, especially for kids. Yes and creative work will not remain without a trace, the little ones develop, doing it.

Ideas

What to hide for a modern person, even a big one, even a small one, the wrapper is important. Even the same candy may seem tastier if it is wrapped in a candy wrapper with your favorite movie hero, and not in parchment. Therefore, the learning process should be packaged in a beautiful wrapper: use your favorite Lego people, cars, stickers, prints of super heroes, everything that your child likes, what he is ready to watch for hours, with which he is even ready to sleep.

Or even make it in the form of a wrist bracelet, I think kids will also appreciate this option.

As for the training system, choose the one that you think is more understandable to your kid and which you can present “without stuttering”. Someone makes a clock like a real one without minutes, someone hides the minutes under a leaf so that you can "peep". Someone, on the contrary, makes a double dial, where 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 watch with a task - stick the appropriate number of minutes on the Velcro, and even below you can put out in separate numbers what happened (for example, 10:30). Of course, it is more convenient to make such clocks with Velcro from felt, although Velcro can be glued to cardboard. The main idea!

Or you can improve your usual home clock by sticking the minutes in a circle for quick learning.

In a word, what else are we talking about? It's time to get busy! We have a universal, basic master class on our nose, which you can take as a basis for your idea.

Step-by-step instructions for making cardboard watches

Now we will try together to do under the tree. But first of all, a few words about the tools we will be making, and all possible child help.

A few important points:

• We have to cut blanks from paper, and for this we need sharp scissors. If you have scissors with rounded edges, then this part of the work can be entrusted to the baby. Otherwise, it is better, or rather, safer, to do it yourself.
• To fasten the arrows to the structure, we again need a sharp object: either nail scissors with sharp edges, or a nail. Only 3 holes. But safety is more important. If the crumb asks, of course, you can entrust the work, but only with your safety net.
• Decide how strong the structure you plan to make. Perhaps one sheet of cardboard will not be enough. Then use the base. A layer of thick packaging cardboard, or a few additional balls from a regular one, will come off as a basis.
• The last one is how you will draw, or rather, with the help of what. If with a compass, then you have already marked the middle, and that's good. But dangerous because of the sharp edge. Can be drawn by tracing a plate, cup, or bowl around the office. In this case, the middle is determined using two perpendicular lines. Or, even easier, bend one of the circles (it is better not the very first one to keep its attractive appearance) bend 2 times in half. The fold point is the middle.

Now we are completely ready! Forward!

Hours with minutes - MK

A cork round stand for hot dishes was chosen as the basis for the watch. But you can completely do with corrugated cardboard.

Clocks don't just tell the time and keep us late - they can also serve as impressive pieces of art to decorate our home.

A beautiful and ornate watch can be too expensive, but there are many ways to make a watch yourself. All you need is a little time, creativity and motivation to get started, and you can create something completely different, something that no one else has, a thing that has no analogues in the world.

Floating wall clock

Collect all required material... To create a floating clock, you need the following tools:

• adhesive putty;
• wooden numbers from 1 to 12;
• 4 different sheets of scrap paper;
• glue;
• knife;
• set of clock mechanisms.

Wooden numbers can be purchased at a craft store, or you can carve yourself. A set of watch movements can be purchased in specialized stores, they are inexpensive. Search the internet, you will find several. You can use a mechanism with hands from an old clock that you have in your house or is gathering dust somewhere in the attic.

Wooden numbers will look more interesting in different fonts and sizes. You can varnish the wooden numbers or stick on scrapbooking paper and then varnish. An interesting effect is obtained if the numbers are sprayed with metallic silver paint.

Set the clock. The watch will be about 60 centimeters wide, so choose a location to mount it where you have a lot of space. Once you've chosen a spot, use a ruler to determine the center of the spot. This is where you hang the clock mechanism.

Secure the clock mechanism to the wall using an adhesive putty. This product looks great when positioned over a mantel or low cabinet.

Determine where you will hang the numbers. Use a ruler to measure 30 centimeters directly from the top of the watch. Mark this spot with a pencil. Here you will hang number 12. Measure 30 centimeters to the right of the clock and mark it with a pencil. Here you will hang number 3. Measure 30 centimeters below your watch and mark it with a pencil. Here you will hang number 6. Measure 30 centimeters to the left of the clock and mark it with a pencil. Here you will hang number 9.

Hang up the numbers and set the clock. Use an adhesive putty to hang 12, 3, 6 and 9 onto the pre-marked pencil spots. Then you can use a ruler and pencil in space and mark where the rest of the numbers stay.

Use an adhesive putty to hang the remaining numbers. The adhesive putty is easy to remove, so if you need to customize the placement of the room, you can easily remove it from the wall and re-install it in a different location. Insert the batteries into the watch mechanism and set them to the correct time.

Clock "Rainbow"

Know that recycling old things is essential to preserving our nature. And if you learn to recycle things, and not throw them away and pollute the environment, that will be great.

An additional bonus will be cost savings and the ability to make a great gift for your loved ones. Try making this clock with recycled items. Consider how to make a DIY wall clock using ice cream sticks.

What you need:

• 12 ice cream sticks;
• watch mechanism;
• styrofoam;
• 1 sheet of plywood;
• fabric or acrylic paints;
• glue.

Progress:

• Paint the ice cream sticks rainbow colors. Line them up on the wall and mark the line with a ruler. You need to do this in order to determine how much space you need to insert numbers.
• Cut a 5 cm circle out of the styrofoam. Draw numbers on it with a pencil. Then you need to paint the circles with acrylics.

• Shape the face of the watch. Make a circle out of a piece of plywood and paint it white. Take a ruler and divide the circle into 12 pieces. Drill a hole (you can use a large nail if you don't have a drill).
• Cover with glue. Lightly glue the line on the right side of the watch and stick.

• Now all you have to do is paste the numbers. Add a watch mechanism and you're done!

Instead of ice cream sticks, you can use buttons and barbecue sticks or felt from which you can cut flowers. Use any material at hand - it can be fragments of broken children's toys, etc. Remember that you can create a masterpiece out of garbage and help nature.

Clock from photos

Pretty original idea make a clock with your own hands from portraits of loved ones, which can become a true decoration of your interior.

To make this original watch, you will need the following materials:

• 2 sheets of 18 × 24 newsprint or poster paper;
• scotch;
• pencil;
• 12 frames for photos in size 2 × 3;
• 12 photos 2 × 3;
• watch mechanism;
• ruler;
• a sheet of cardboard 8.5 x11;
• scissors;
• insulating tape;
• hammer;
• nails.

Lay out the watch. Place two sheets of newsprint or banner paper on the floor, then tape them to each other. Place the watch movement kit in the center of the sheets and then position the photo frames around the clock movement.

Experiment with frames, some horizontally and some vertically. Play with the layout until you find a design that works best for you.

When you are satisfied with the result, draw out the outlines of the photo frames on a piece of paper with a pencil.

Insert photos into frames. Choose the best photos for this project. Try to come up with a theme and choose twelve pictures that match that theme. For example, take snapshots of twelve locations on your vacation. Or choose twelve different photos key events in your life or relationship with your partner.

Attach the watch mechanism. Use a pencil, ruler, and scissors to cut the card paper into a square or rectangle.It should be large enough to cover the clock mechanism.

If the clock mechanism is small, cut out a 3.25 x 3.75 piece of cardboard - the same size as the picture frames. Cut a hole in the center of the cardboard. The metal part of the clock mechanism will be located here, attach it. Use a piece of cardboard instead of a "dial".

Find an empty wall where you can hang your wall clock. Attach your paper blanks to the wall with tape, and nail the frames of the photos. Make sure they match the pattern of the dial.

Once you're done hammering, pull the newsprint off the wall. The nails should stay in place and the paper should slide out easily.

Button watch

Such a clock will look quite original and give the room more comfort. Take a hoop, buttons, do not forget about the clockwork, stock up on braid and fabric you need colors.

The fabric should be well secured to the hoop, and the edges should be trimmed to prevent them from sticking out of the mold. This will be your dial, of course you need to make numbers for it. To do this, sew on the buttons in the order in which the numbers appear on the dial.

Make a hole in the center so you can attach the clockwork. And for the clock to hang beautifully on the wall, you need to hang it. To do this, take a ribbon, attach it to the hoop, and then hang it on a stud on the wall.

Other creative ideas

As you can see, you can create a lot of interesting things from scrap materials. Globe halves or wooden spools for winding the cable can be used. Needlewomen can create this piece of furniture from a lace napkin or knit a cover with threads.

It will be interesting for children to have a clock made of chupa-chups or sweets in their room. The product made of vinyl records will perfectly fit into the interior in the modern style. The shape of a vinyl record can be easily changed by heating it. You can also paint the vinyl disc with acrylic paint and then your piece will take on a completely incredible shape.

And if you take a sawn wooden circle as a dial, you can place a wooden clock in any room.

A great idea is a cardboard clock in the form of a picture or a map of the area or a grandfather clock. You can also take old unnecessary mechanisms and make a clock in the kitchen by decorating it with scrapbooking paper or coffee beans. Even if you have nothing in the house, you can buy cutting board for the kitchen and create a clock out of it. And the decoupage technique will help you decorate the board and turn it into a true masterpiece.

Feel like a real designer, create your own projects, decorate the space of your home and bring joy to your friends!
