Materials Needed:
-a record
-a cheap clock
-paint
-buttons
-twine
-cardboard
Step 1:
Get your record ready to paint. (Sorry, Dad...I used one from your collection. I tried to pick one I hadn't heard of☺).
Step 2:
Paint the record. I just used acrylic paint and a foam brush. It will take two-three coats of paint.
Step 3:
I didn't go in this order, but this is what you need to do. Decorate your clock first before you put the hands on it. I got hot glue strings in the hands of the clock and it messed it up. So, I suggest you decorate your clock first, then attatch the hands.
Glue on your buttons or numbers.
Since mine was a hot air balloon, I attatched bunting to match with the rest of the room. It was made out of paper and sewn together. I used a hot glue gun to attach it to the record.
Step 4:
Attach the hands to the clock. I got a cheap clock from Dollar General to use for this project.
Take it apart carefully without bending the hands. They are delicate and if they get bent, they don't work properly. I accidentally bent one and with the combination of the hot glue and the bent hand, I had to get another clock to make it work right.
Put hands together on your new clock.
Step 5:
I made the basket for the hot air balloon out of cardboard. I glued several pieces together to make it heavier. I attached it with twine and hot glue.
Step 6:
Attach a hanger on the back and you're finished.
