Cuckoo Clock Project

4 Find the centre of the clock face

and then use a craft knife to cut an

x-shaped hole through the centre of

the stitching and the canvas behind.

Take care not to make the hole too

large and be mindful of your fingers!

5 Taking the clock mechanism,

remove the nut and metal washer.

Insert the shaft of the mechanism

into the hole from the back, then

reattach the washer and nut onto

the front to secure it into place.

6 Attach the hour hand first and

then the minute hand onto the top

part of the shaft. Press each one

down firmly until it’s fixed in place.

Then attach the cover to the end of

the shaft and set the time to finish.

READER PANEL

I would mount

this cuckoo clock on

a piece of panelling

or barn wood for a

rustic, outdoorsy finish

and then hang it in

my bedroom.
