Paper Clock

Materials:
*Patterned cardstock
*Gold cardstock
*Pencil
*Brad
*Scissors
*Glue
*X-acto knife
*Protractor (optional)
*Hole punch
*Gold number stickers (optional)

Directions:
*In a program such as Paint, create two circles, one as large as you would like your clock to be and the other about 1/2" less in diameter than the first.
*Print the circles and cut them out.
*Trace the bigger circle onto the back of each sheet of cardstock.
*On the gold sheet, center the smaller circle inside the big circle you have traced and cut out.
*Cut out your circles.  The patterned cardstock will give you the background for your clock and the gold one will give you its frame.
*Either print out numerals, trace them onto the gold paper, and cut them out (I went this route and it was rather time consuming) or get some gold number stickers.
*Using your protractor (or by eyeballing it), mark out at the edge of the background clock piece in pencil every 30 degrees.
*Adhere your numbers to the clock at the 30 degree intervals, making sure to place them about 1/2" away from the edge.
*Glue on the frame.
*Print out two copies of the key template from my Key Bookmarks and Centerpiece post, with one key larger than the other.
*Cut out the keys, using an X-acto knife when necessary.  Instead of cutting out the diamond shape at the top, however, fit the two keys together diamond to diamond and punch a hole through them.
*Slide a brad through the keys.  Find the center of the clock and push the brad through it.  Adjust the key shaped hands until they reach the desired positions on the clock.
