Hello everyone, It is always an amazing time to be here,i had a great day and hopefully am looking forward to a profiting weekend
Today i decided to make used of an old carton.
In this community, i have learnt not to be wasteful,i try as much as possible to make good use of dispostable things.
So, today i created a world clock for my kids to help them in learning and to know the correct time
Here are the materials that i used
- A flat plate
- A carton
- pen/pencil
- Scissors
- Glue
- A piece of red fabric
- Red colour beads
The first steps i took was to used the flat plate,i made a circle drawing on the carton with pen
And i cut out the design.
Next step.
I got a smaller cover,and i drew small circles on the carton
Next step.
I started numbering each circle.
Next step.
I cut each numbers out with a Scissors
Next step
I got a glue and gumed each of the numbers to the bigger circle carton.
Next steps
I took the carton and cut out the long and the short hand ( hour hand and the minute hand)for the clock
I needed to make it colorful since it was to be used by kids,so i used a red crayon and coloured it.
Next step.
I created a tiny hole on the carton,just to be able to fixed the hour/minutes hand.
Next step
I got a paper,i folded it and fixed it on the hole, i had created,so that the hour and the minutes hand can easily rotate.
Next
I inserted the hour/minutes haands on the clock.
Next step
My intentions was to design on it,a teddy bear image,so i got another cover and i drew a small circle on the carton,i cut it out, trimmed of the side to create the ear of the teddy design.
Next step.
I designed the eyes the nose and the mouth
Next step
I got my piece of red fabric and i did a little bow on it.
I just wanted it to be beautiful for my kids.
I believe this will get their attention and learning how to know the time is going to be great fun
Thank you so very much for going through my loat.
