1 Assemble, glue and paint the boxes
white, all bar one side. Fill the box with
something solid to make a surface to
stamp on.

2 Stamp designs in black all the way

round the large box. If it goes wrong

just clean off quickly and start again!

3 To stamp with the ColorSticks, ink up

image with VersaMark inkpad.

to finish the project: Spray the boxes with varnish to seal the ColorSticks. Add all the metal embellishments and the cotton reel at
the top. Attach the top box to middle layer using a brad so that it can turn round. Add the box bases and stick the middle box to the
lower box.

4 Colour directly onto the stamp with the
ColorSticks, mixing and blending as you
go.

5 Stamp directly onto box side. Build up

images. For a watercolour effect, spritz

stamp lightly first.

6 Overstamp each side with the clock

faces stamp and add text.

Step-by-step... Clockmaking with ColorSticks

7 Colour the large box images with the
ColorSticks. The painted surface allows
you to blend quite easily.

8 Decorate the box for the top in the

same way. Fit the clock mechanism

into the back.

9 Punch a hole in the front to allow the

spindle to come through, and fit on the

hands. Make a door for the back of the

box to allow access to the battery.
