Hi Jen,

The clock is not too difficult to make. First of all just measure out the hours evenly on the "clock face". You could then paint the hours in roman numerals, use simple dots about the size of a 2cent coin to mark each hour or just mark 12,6,3 & 9 and leave the other hours unmarked....it does work!! You can buy the clock mechanism & the hands in craft shops - then carefully make a hole in the exact centre of the plate. This would be best done with a narrow hot iron/screwdriver. (Plates are probably a hard plastic so a drill might shatter them). Fit the mechanism, add two AA batteries & away you go....

I have clocks with the dot marking & the 12,6,3 & 9 marking & you are welcome to see them if that helps.

Thanks for the offer of some chargers, I would be happy to have a few sometime if you find you have too many when you have finished making clocks & cake stands etc...!!!

Kind regards.
Bibi
