Materials
Directions:
- Download and print out the number stencils, and, using scissors, carefully cut out each of the numbers.
- Position the numbers around the record so they touch each other, and trace the outline with a pencil.
- Using extreme caution, carefully cut out your design, using the hot knife. Be especially careful when removing part of the record, as it can easily snap or break. Important: be sure that you wear a face mask, and always work in a well-ventilated area.
- If any of the edges are rough, carefully smooth them out using a metal file.
- Super glue the gearbox of the clock mechanism behind the record, making sure to line it up with the designs.
- Snap the hands of the clock into place, and voila —you’re ready to rock.
