This was a fun project I made for my Mother’s Birthday.
Started with a 9” or 10” wood plate. Drill a hole in the center just large enough for the post of the Clock Kit to fit through.
Paint both sides of the wood plate with 1 coat of white satin enamel paint. After drying for 1 hour (or until dry to touch) spray the plate with 2 coats of Alabaster FleckStone Finish allowing 1 hour drying time between coats (or until dry to touch).
After completely dry install the clock works according to directions on package. The clockworks kit I used included stickers for all 12 hours but I only used 4 (12, 3, 6, 9)and used 6” graperolls for the remainder hours
Quilling Directions
Leaves: (make approx 30)
Eccentric Flowers: (make 2)
Fringed Flowers: (make approx 50)
Large Ring Coil Flowers (make 6)
Small Ring Coil Flowers (make approx 15)
Marquise Flowers (make approx 30)
Arrange flowers and leaves around outline of clock using fringed flowers to fill any gaps. Glue leaves and most of the flowers at angles – not flat. Try to arrange eccentric flowers at approx. 12 o’clock & 6 o’clock
Arrange large ring coil flowers at approx 1 o’clock, 3 o’clock, 5 o’clock, 7 o’clock, 9 o’clock, and 11 o’clock.
Here is another idea for a long lasting gift for that special person. For the past few years, I have been making Quilled Calendars for family & friends. The calendar templates are easily created using many software packages – the one I use is Microsoft Publisher.
Print the calendar on heavy cardstock – 110# or higher. I use a one-hole punch to make a hanging hole at the top and then add quilling to the header.
You can quill anything on them, co-ordinating colors to match decorating schemes. Below are a few examples of calendars I have made.
