what you will need:

  • clock ($1.50 from ikea!)
  • picture of the moon roughly the size of the clear plastic face of the clock with the center marked out on the computer
  • cardboard
  • strong glue
  • paint/nail polish
  • pencil,scissors, penknife 
  • cutting board


1. dismantle the clock

2. mark the center of the plastic case using the marked out paper that comes with the clock

3. align the middles of the case and the moon. trace and cut out the moon shape so it is the same size as the case (note: the moon cutout is supposed to lie on top of the rim of the case so you shouldn't use the paper from the clock as a stencil)

4. repeat the step with the cardboard so you will be left with 3 circles of the same size

5. punch holes through the centers of the moon and the cardboard

6. glue the cardboard to the back of the moon (yes i used an old pizza box)

7. paint the clock hands with your paint/ nail polish of choice and let it dry

8. assembly time! glue the clock motor to the back of the cardboard. fit the clock hands back in and glue the plastic case to the cardboard (don't forget to add a battery first!)
