Cutlery

Forks, knives, spoons and even kitchen spatulas are used to create watches. They can be disposable or metal.

In addition to cutlery, you will need high-quality glue, a clock mechanism and a suitable dial. A plate, a piece of polystyrene, or drywall is suitable for this. The desired color can be given to the product with spray paint, and shine with varnish.

First, cutlery should be degreased. Next, the dial is cut out, in which a hole is made for the mechanism. Spoons, knives or forks are glued in random order in a circle.

After the glue has completely dried, the watch is coated with paint and then varnish. At the last stage, the mechanism is installed. You can glue a hook on the back so that you can hang the product on the wall.

Clock from a plate

You can make a clock from an old plate. To drill a hole in the middle, you need a drill or masonry bit. A drawing is made on the surface and the cut out image is pasted on. Just an unusual plate will do.

When everything is dry, the mechanism is installed. The finished product is placed on a stand or hung on the wall.

New life for the frying pan

This clock will fit perfectly into the kitchen interior. A hole is drilled in the middle of the bottom of the frying pan, and its surface is treated to remove grease and carbon deposits with sandpaper and special products.

The frying pan is decorated using various techniques, using stickers or painting. The desired image is applied using a stencil and a foam sponge or brush. After the paint has dried, the design is coated with acrylic varnish.

A clock mechanism is installed on the finished product.

In addition to a regular clock, you can make an imitation of a cuckoo house. Sticks or boards for an improvised roof are placed on hot glue. Everything else can be drawn or used ready-made stickers. In the middle there is space for the hands and dial. A bird, branches or flowers are placed at the top.
