June 12, 2014 ·

octagon_clock1DSC_1459I love experimenting with new mediums and lately I’ve really been loving clay! It can be used for SO many projects. This clock is really easy so let’s get started!

    Materials

  • Premier Clay //
  • X-acto knife //
  • Clock Kit //
  • Paint //
  • Paper //
  • Octagon template //
  • Glue //
  • Awl //

This will take a few minutes, try to make it as even as possible and leave about 1/2 inch of thickness.

Take the octagon template, cut it out and place on top of the clay. Then use an x-acto knife to cut around the shape:

Once it is dry, paint the clock. I spray painted the clock copper:

Wait for the paint to dry and then use glue to cover it with the paper of your choice. Once the glue is dry, use the owl to poke through the paper where the hole is.
