Decoupage Watch Style
A similar technique for designing and creating a wall clock implies working with a ready-made store template, where there is already a blank, the base of the hands and the finished mechanism. You can also purchase ready-made patterns on papers, special paints, glue and other decoupage elements.
The blank for the watch is done in this way: several times the base is covered with acrylic paint primer, and finally polished. The desired shade and texture give the basis of the next step.
There is one trick - if you want to make the clock in the old style with a shade that represents abrasion, then the paint must be applied with a sponge.
Decorating a wall clock with your own hands is the process of revealing imagination and creativity from a person. You can stick special water stickers on the base. Or draw a preliminary sketch yourself and transfer it to the dial.
After already attach the finished mechanism and arrows with numbers. After a series of actions, self-made watches will come to life and will give the house a special original look.
Quilling watches
Quilling is a process of decorative art in which you should work with straight stripes of colored paper of various widths. Such strips, as a rule, are twisted and glued to the surface, while creating the most varied patterns and pictures.
In order to create a watch using this technique, it is best to take a tree as the basis of a watch, since quilling elements can be glued to it well.
The color scheme should be in harmony with the interior of the room. After all, a bright clock will look ugly in a room made in the style of minimalism. Therefore, the choice of shade is a key point in this matter.
Most often, multi-colored quilling elements are used to create flowers, insects, trees, animals, berries, and so on.
Plaster watch
Conventional gypsum tiles will serve well as the basis for future watches.
Romantic and reverent natures will surely find a large number of solutions for creating watches from this material.
Among professionals, such a tile is called a medallion. The mechanism of future watches is attached to its back side. To make the product look more elegant and restrained, you should cover its surface with matte paint in light colors.
And, if you want some glare, then glossy paint will do.
Note!
Such material is most suitable for creating watches in the bedroom. At the same time, shades are chosen - beige, soft pink, pearl, the color of coffee with milk, purple and so on.
Watch with wooden sticks
In this situation, in your arsenal should be such items as sticks and quality wood, good glue, scissors, and ready-made working hours with a flat surface.
Many small sticks of the same size should be cut from the tree, and then put together
If the sticks are applied on the base in two layers, then you can achieve the wonderful effect of "explosion", which looks luxurious and original.
Now you know how to make a watch at home. Handmade clocks are ideal for the kitchen, and for the hall, and for the bedroom.
