Hello friends stemianos today I want to share with you this craft, since many times I have had to help my family and friends to perform different tasks, because in this life we must learn to do everything and on this occasion I decided to experiment and make a clock with recycled material, which I really enjoyed doing, and above all it was very economical, using very few materials, and as a result I obtained a beautiful paper watch, which I will explain to you step by step how to do it.
Materials:
Sheets of paper (recycling)
Scissors
Liquid and bar gluing
File hooks (Recycle)
Cold paint (orange)
Printer
First: we must fold sheet by sheet forming strips of folded paper, as if we were making a fan of paper, fixing the thickness and folds we need.
Third: with liquid glue all the circles are covered to fix position and proceed to paint with cold paint, in this case I chose the orange color and let it dry.
Fourth: for the numbers and arrows on the hands, I designed them on the computer and then printed them on recycling sheets (if you like you can draw them and paint them by hand) I easily printed and cut them out and sticked them on the small circles. Second: after having enough strips of folded paper, with the help of the liquid glue we make small circles in the shape of a snail until we have the desired size, in this case make a large circle made up of 21 turns that would be the center part and to place the numbers make 12 circles with 5 turns each.
Fifth: with the old hooks I found, cut them with the scissors very carefully and place the small circle with the number on one end and the other on the large circle, and in this way our clock takes shape. For the hands, just sink the arrows already printed on the hook and adjust them in the large circle.
We don't need to be artists or have a lot of money to do handicrafts, we just need dedication, patience and a little creativity to get good results. Let us encourage ourselves to awaken the artistic vein that we have.
Thank you for reading!
