In the process of introducing children to various types hours, the principle of their work and their role in a person’s life, the guys and I found out that the most convenient watch,battery operated clock. They show the exact time and rarely get capricious. So we decided to try to make our own watch.
To make a watch, it is not necessary to specifically purchase any expensive material, because there are always many things in the group that can be made from watch. So the guys and I came up with the idea to do wall-mounted, multifunctional watch"Domino".This is also a great way to keep children engaged in creative activities together.
Materials and tools:
Clockwork;
Battery;
Thick cardboard (disk);
Glue "moment";
-domino.
1) Base watch can be made from any material, different shapes. We decided to make a round one, we took a plastic tray D-30cm.
2) I attached and traced the mechanism, cut out a hole for the mechanism
3) I made a loop (different options, on which the clock will hang.
4) Cooked domino,arrows.
5) Marked the places and laid them out in order on the disk
6) Attached the mechanism, decorated the circle of the second hand with beads
Here's what we got the clock!

MK "Commander's Watch" Hello, dear colleagues! Thanks to everyone who shows their MKs! I look at a lot of material every day.
Each of us probably has a clock in the kitchen, and not even alone. And I am no exception to this. But here are just the ones that are loved and never let you down Wall Clock The thermometer, hygrometer and barometer have already fallen from the wall so many times (I’m generally silent about the broken outer glass) that they have begun to fail. First, the barometer needle got lost, then the air humidity indicator froze in one place, and then the thermometer began to lie. And only the clock mechanism was surprisingly in good working order, as if all the adversities were nothing to him. And if so, then one Saturday morning I decided to do some hand-made work at home, especially since the weather outside the window could not have been more suitable for this.
So, to make a domino clock, we need:
directly the clock mechanism itself,
a piece of plexiglass (I had opaque, matte),
domino chips (I found a useless, incomplete set at home, in which some of the stones were simply lost),
glue gun with a rod (I used just one),
a stationery knife to carefully cut off excess glue that came out during gluing,
drill-driver and drill bit 8,
double-sided tape and scissors for it,
and the key or head, in my case - at 11. That's all.
First, remove the hands and separate the clock mechanism. Take the battery out of it. If it has an eyelet so you can then hang the clock on the wall, consider yourself lucky. No - you'll have to attach it. I simply glued the ear from an old watch with two-part glue and set it aside to dry.
But I didn’t cut a circle out of hardboard myself, at home. It won’t be perfectly even anyway, so lathe, in a couple of minutes and a chocolate (the turner, oddly enough, turned out to be a young lady), they cut out a perfectly even dial with a diameter of 300 mm.
Moreover, they immediately marked the center, in which I drilled a single hole.
And in order not to suffer and not to mark (as you can see, I simply didn’t need a ruler, a pencil, or a marker), I printed out this dodecagon on a piece of paper (scientifically, a dodecagon),
and glued it from the inside with double-sided tape.
We turn on our glue gun to warm up, squeeze out, quite generously, liquid glue from the back of the stones (I came across chips with a recessed “shirt”),
and glue it. One “digit” is ready,
We do the same with the rest.
Now peel off the paper and insert the mechanism.
And so that it never turns (you never know), we smear a thin strip of hot glue from the inside onto the mechanism in the lower part, under the part for the battery. Then we put the washer back on the protruding part and tighten it lightly with the nut.
In cold weather, my hands are itching to make some beauty. After all, you don’t feel like leaving the house at all. And you don’t need to go anywhere! After all, everything you need can be at your fingertips. For example, an old domino and a clock that have been waiting for a decorative update for a long time. How to decorate a domino clock is the topic of today's article.
Don't yawn, experienced needlewomen! You think that gluing dominoes is no longer an activity for you. We suggest that those who are bored complicate the task and, in addition to dominoes, decorate the clock using the decoupage technique. It’s just easier to work in this technique with a base for a watch, rather than with a finished watch. You can buy such a base on the Internet or your nearest store, ala everything for needlewomen.
Making a domino clock couldn't be easier if you follow the step-by-step instructions.
You will need:
- plywood base
- decoupage card or napkin
- decoupage glue
- clockwork
- acrylic varnish
- carquelure
- tassel
- sponge
Step one. Process sandpaper basis.
Step two. Glue your chosen motif into the center. After drying, treat the clean surface with stain, including reverse side. If desired, the design can also be treated with carquelure varnish to give the watch an aged effect. But before that, go over it with regular varnish. You can dry it with a hairdryer.
Step three. After drying, apply with a sponge acrylic paint. You can fill the cracks with gold or silver.
Step four. We attach the clock mechanism.
Step five. We lay out a dial from the dominoes, make sure that the number of dots on the domino corresponds to the desired number. Glue it.
