Decorating wall clocks. We make wall clocks from cardboard: decoupage and quilling (master class). Than decorating the New Year's watch

The kitchen clock is the necessary, useful and, in general, ordinary. Few people think about their design, because the main thing is that they correctly show the time, helping to control the process of cooking various dishes.

But try to make a wall clock for the kitchen with your own hands - and you will notice that the atmosphere in this room has no longer changed.

Of course, it is not about to assemble and adjust the clockwork - it should be used ready, bought in the store or removed from the old hours. But it is very possible to skittase on the design of the dial.

Handmade kitchen watches

Many of us have some kind of hobby associated with needlework. These skills can be used for the manufacture of hours, even if it seems to you that it is impossible. In fact, the clock can be associated, embroider, evil, draw, etc.

Do not believe? Look at the following photos.

As you can see, a little fantasy and skills - and your kitchen will acquire a real handmade designer.

If you do not know how to sew nor embroider, you can not paint, you can come up with something else, no less interesting (see the article about). You may like one of the ideas offered by us in this article or a video clip.

Watches from improvised materials

Take a look at the cabinets and boxes in your kitchen, and you will definitely find many unnecessary or served your belongings that can still serve as another quality. For example, the old cover from the pan, the only plate that remains the service or sieve for flour can become an excellent basis for the clock.

And here are the options for using them:

• Unscrew the handle with the old cover and you will receive the cluster for the clock with the finished hole in the center. The lid can be painted from a canister, paint or decorate with stickers. Behind it is mounted for a mechanism from the clock with a battery, and on the front part - arrows.

• The simplest and original kitchen watches can be made from disposable tableware: plastic and plastic cutlery. This idea is not Nova, but still interesting. In the same way as in the previous case, you will only stay to glue a clock mechanism and install arrows.

Council. Instead of a one-time plate, it is better to use a tougher base - a lid from a mayonnaise bucket or a circle carved from dense cardboard.

• If you need a fairly dimensional art object, take a large tray of any form, drill a hole in the middle and with the help of good glue fasten the twelve coffee cups on it. Further instructions are similar to the previous one.

These ideas can not be copied literally, but use only as tips. For example, instead of the lid, a frying pan with a handle or an old vinyl record can become an excellent closium for the clock.

Coffee hours

Coffee beans - favorite material for making different crafts from masters of applied art. They can also be used to decorate the clock. In the kitchen, they are especially appropriate, as they will not only show the time, but also to exude a magic aroma.

It is not necessary to make the clock with your own hands, you can use the available, and only decorate them with coffee beans, sticking them directly on the dial or on the corpus rim. Although you can come up with your own composition. Watch the master class to understand how to work with this material and with which it can be combined.

Council. Instead of coffee, you can use any other grains, as well as pasta. If you paint their paint from the can, you can create an interesting ornament or a whole picture.

Decoupage

Today, this way of decorating has gained a second life, because it allows you to create truly unique things. Its essence is extremely simple: this is an ordinary applique that is covered with a varnish protecting the drawing.

Sometimes the crochellae varnishes are used, creating small cracks on the surface and the giving effect of antiquity.

For kitchen clock, you can use paper napkins with a pattern suitable for style and color. They are glued on the prepared base of PVA glue, diluted with water. After drying, you can preize contours, stick or write numbers, and then cover it all acrylic varnish.

Wooden watches

If you like working with a tree, and your kitchen style requires just such a decor, you have great opportunities.

• Wall-mounted kitchen watches with their own hands can be made of thin sawing of wood (see also an article about wall clock for the kitchen). It is only necessary to span, cover with varnish or verse and drill a hole for attaching the arrows.

• Do you remember the old clock with a cuckoo, which had previously hung in almost every rustic house? Their similarity can be made of wooden planks, and decorate the figures from the salt dough.

• Another interesting idea that your children or grandchildren will appeal. Cut the circle from thick plywood, and on its end at equal gaps drill 12 thin holes. We will not remind a clock mechanism and arrows - everything is as usual. But the role of the time pointers must perform lollipops inserted into the pre-made holes. Just not worth a previous time to shoot with them wrap.

Council. Make a margin of candy to insert them into place of those that will constantly and mysteriously disappear.

Hooray! I am officially shoemaker with boots. I looked around how participants in our master class in the needle did wall clocks, and now (not half a year and half a year) in our kitchen there appeared a tropical keeper of time.

In early May, the master class was held in our needle, where we did the wall clock with their own hands. The idea of \u200b\u200bVorkshop arose in January, and it was very nice to implement it. Here, very by the way, the clock was broken in the kitchen, which I have long broke out. Compatible pleasant with useful. First, I made a new device to determine the time, secondly, an article for the blog, and thirdly - the tropical decor beloved by me this summer.

Why make the clock do it yourself, if you can buy

And so it is clear that made with your own hands, it is with a soul and from the soul. Perhaps purchased will be shall and with a guarantee, but the advantages to make the wall clock with their own hands more:

• you can implement any idea (for example, as mine with tropics)
• choose exactly the size that needs
• find the right arrows and mechanism
• start a little better to understand how the wall clock is arranged
• proudly report to everyone that you made them yourself (and this is not just a postcard or flower, but a whole device).

What makes a dial for wall clocks

Thinking about the panel under the dial, it is worth remembering that the clock can be not only round, but also triangular, square, even in the form of a flower.

• Panel can be ordered in a laser cutting workshop
• find and buy prepared from plywood in the online store or in a store with needlework goods
• make from cork substrate or tight thick cardboard
• cut from plasterboard
• make a drink
• or from the vinyl record.

How to decorate wall clock

Ways to decorate wall clock mass, it all depends on your desire to create and bother.

• You can print and glue the finished picture.
• apply drawing acrylic paints
• draw something watercolor, cut and glue
• glue volumetric parts from thin plywood
• embroider anything on the fabric and cover the workpiece
• you can draw or glue numbers.

Wall clock - materials and tools

Time spent - one and a half hours. We will need:

• round panel of plywood diameter 30 cm
• clock mechanism with arrows
• paper and pencil
• rule
• acrylic paints and tassels
• palette for mixing paints
• pliers
• scissors.

Wall clock with their own hands - work

The mechanism can be ordered in the online store or use the remaining old hours. There is a couple of moments to pay attention to:

• Thickness of the dial
• thread diameter (must approach the hole diameter in the middle of the panel)
• and the sprock height (funeral on, which is still holding, and on which arrows dressed).

For example, in my mechanism of the rod height of only 8 mm, it means that the thickness of the plywood blank should not exceed 4 mm, otherwise there is not enough space to spin the nut. The best overall height of the stock is 16 mm, and the height of the thread is 9 mm. Such a mechanism is suitable for most wooden blanks.

If there are volumetric parts on the dial, you need to make sure that the arrows will not be cling.

1. Before you start making wall clock with your own hands, you need to decide where the number is 12. To do this, turn over the panel, insert the clockwork, outline the middle of the vertex of the mechanism (it will coincide with the middle of the cape) and carry out a perpendicular line. It is from here that the count will begin and the distance between the numbers will be marked (if they are planned).

2. We take a sheet of paper, supply the dial contour on it and draw the decor. It is useful in order to see, harmoniously looks like a composition before it is too late to change something. I re CRED on the paper contours of the leaves, then cut out and moved to the plywood blank using a pencil.

3. Color the workpiece in accordance with the decor. I used a white construction acrylic, an artistic acrylic and a color paste for a tinting.

4. When the paint is driving, screw the clock mechanism. It may have many details that can be used or ignore depending on the thickness of the dial. Usually, the assembly scheme is attached to the hourly mechanism, which I advise you to adhere to. We ride a rubber substrate on the rod and apply to the dial from the reverse side. The top (middle of the peels) should coincide with the pencil margin (see paragraph 1).

5. I turn over the workpiece with a puck and tighten the nut. Here we need pliers so that you can be tightened tightly.

6. We ride the arrows. By the way, the arrows I repainted from white to black. There are also two points here. First, on the arrows there may be a protective film that you need to remove. Secondly, the black art acrylic was not very good for metal, so I had to first challenge the arrows with a construction white acrylic, and then after drying it was black.

Before rolling, you need to make sure that all the arrows are straight. First we ride the hour, then minute. The second dresses the latter. They are rolled to easy click. It is important not to rearrange and not too diligent, so as not to break the gentle fasteners. Arrows should be strictly parallel to each other and do not touch, otherwise the clock simply will not go.

7. I exhibit all the arrows at 12 o'clock according to the mark, insert the battery and configure the correct time using a special wheel that can be found on the reverse side mechanism.

A couple of evenings, one and a half hours - and I gladly launched my time. Take care of your time, spend it with those who give you joy!

Best,
