What Time Is It?

It is time for a little ART!

Labor Day weekend provided the much needed break, a quick respite after the chaotic and hectic first week of school. I am a Kindergarten teacher here in Houston Texas. School here opened a week before Labor Day.

There were several items on my to-do list, and one of which was an artsy clock that I have always wanted to work on:

Here is a little piece of CRAFT to share!

Materials:
* ¼’ thick wood -available in any craft store  (the shape will depend on your creativity)
* Clock kit –can be found in any craft store
* Paint
* Wood Glue
* Choice of words or photos to decorate the face of your clock

*** For this particular piece of art, I printed the words using Arial Black font - size is 135
.

1.  Paint the pieces of wood

2.  Print the words. Cut and paste the words on the surface of the clock.

3.  Glue the wood pieces together using wood glue.

4.  Drill a hole where you want the hands of your clock to be positioned. Install the clock machine.

***For this particular project, the clock set I bought had gold “clock hands.” I painted it black to create contrast.

What time is it?

It is time you enjoy a time piece that projects your personality!
