In principle, the New Year's clock can have a completely different shape. If you wish, you can make them look like an ordinary round alarm clock, or make a more massive product that can be placed on the wall.

But whatever shape your craft has, remember that in this case it is extremely important to pay attention to the decor. To make your watch really look like a Christmas decoration, be sure to decorate it with spruce branches, cotton wool, shiny snowflakes and sequins.

As for the dial, it can be both simple and complex. If you do not want to bother, then just draw a circle, put numbers on it and fix it on the base. If your goal is a more original craft, then decorate it with an interesting themed dial. You can see examples of holiday stencils for making New Year's watches a little higher.

Recommendations for making a box

If you want to make a New Year's clock from sweets, then you will have to make a round box of the right size with your own hands. To make your craft perfect, you will need to make sure that the side of the cardboard blank has the same length as the sweets you have chosen.

To get started, cover the cardboard blank with corrugated paper, foil, or just beautiful packaging. Try to fix it on the base as well as possible, because it will depend on how well the candies will stick to it.
Glue the dial on the top of the box and be sure to make arrows. They can be made from more contrasting paper or wood blanks painted in the desired color.
When all this is ready, you can start fixing the candy on the box. Try to stack them in such a way that there is no more distance between them. If you have chosen sweets with jagged edges, then fill the resulting voids with rain.
After all the candies are glued, you will have to decorate your New Year's clock with additional festive decor. At this stage, you can allow yourself to turn on all your imagination and, in addition to the standard New Year's decor, use, for example, beautiful buttons or original rivets.

How to make a beautiful New Year's clock from salt dough?

Preparation for the New Year's clock

Salt dough Christmas clock

If you like to do needlework with your children, then you will definitely enjoy making New Year's clocks from salt dough. There is nothing difficult in this process, as all you have to do is give the material the correct shape. But still remember that in order for your craft to turn out right, you need to take the most responsible approach to preparing the dough.

You must achieve such a consistency that it does not crumble and does not stick to your hands. Some needlewomen advise beginners to add a little vegetable oil to the dough, citing the fact that it will be easy to roll out. But as practice shows, such a dough eventually dries very poorly and quickly cracks after drying.

In view of this, it will be better if you prepare the dough according to the following recipe:

Flour - 500 g
Salt - 250 g
Water - 250 ml

Yes, and remember that the cooked dough cannot be left to lie for a very long time, as this will necessarily affect the strength of the finished product. Therefore, it will be better if, after kneading, you immediately begin to create a festive masterpiece. There are two ways to make a New Year's clock. You can simply roll out the dough and then cut the clock into the shape you need.

You can also try laying out crafts from small parts and only then dry it in the oven. Remember that the dough needs to be dried, because this is the only way you can get a strong structure that will not be afraid of moisture. If you try to quickly bake your blanks, then inside they may not dry out and this will lead to the formation of cracks after drying.

New Year's crafts with a cuckoo clock do it yourself: photo

New Year's cuckoo clocks are made according to the same principle as those crafts with which we have already introduced you. In view of this, to begin with, you will need to prepare thick cardboard, glue or adhesive tape, holiday decor and paints for drawing, and you can safely start creating New Year's decorations.

So:

First, cut out blanks, from which you will later make a house. When cutting, make sure that all parts have the correct dimensions. If at least one of the blanks is smaller or larger than necessary, then in the end you will not be able to assemble the structure.

Having cut out all the necessary blanks, start connecting them together, first with glue, and then with tape. This will help ensure that the finished structure is as strong as possible.

Having made a box, start making a blank that imitates a cuckoo's house. In this case, it is important to correctly calculate the size of the hole in which the bird will be visible. In order for it to look harmonious in it, it should be at least 1-2 cm higher and wider than it.

At the final stage, make a cuckoo (it can be made of paper or plasticine) and fix it in the opening. Connect all parts of the clock together and decorate them the way you like.

Let's take a closer look at the piece.

Every day the New Year is getting closer and closer. You can prepare well for the holiday with the help of DIY crafts. For manufacturing New Year's souvenirs It takes quite a bit of time, but the resulting festive mood will pay off handsomely.

Every year the number of all kinds of crafts is increasing and increasing. After all, the New Year is a source of inspiration not only for children, but also for adults.

You can create original gifts and souvenirs even from old things, transforming them beyond recognition, thereby giving them a new life. An ordinary clock - an alarm clock - can be not only a means of determining the time, but also become an interior decor item, as well as a wonderful decoration for the New Year's table and an excellent gift.

You can present such a gift to relatives, relatives and friends! New Year's clock sure to please the kids!

How to transform an old alarm clock and create your own with his help New Year's souvenir You will learn in my master class. A middle-aged child will also be able to independently cope with this craft, making an original New Year's gift with his own hands.

For work you will need:

alarm clock,
corrugated board,
stationery knife,
priming,
paints,
brush,
a little synthetic winterizer or cotton wool,
silver glitter or acrylic outline,
structural paste (can be replaced with ordinary semolina mixed with PVA glue),
PVA glue,
glue moment,
hot glue gun (optional - can be replaced with double-sided tape),
Christmas tree decorations.

We start with the fact that we need a corrugated cardboard rectangle - the basis of the New Year's composition. From the same corrugated cardboard we cut out a Christmas tree.

We make a slot in the rectangle cross to cross, since the base of the Christmas tree will be cruciform, for better stability.

We primed, dried and covered with green paint. We are waiting for the paint to dry completely.

On the bottom of the leg of the Christmas tree, we make a small incision and insert a piece of corrugated cardboard, we get a cruciform trunk, which we will later insert into the slots on our base, having previously smeared everything with glue with a moment.

Before we set up the Christmas tree, we must decorate it. We glue our beads on it using hot glue or universal transparent glue of the moment. If necessary, wait for the glue to dry. The tree is now ready for installation.

We have come to the final design of our composition.

Lubricate a small area around the Christmas tree with PVA glue, while grabbing the trunk of the Christmas tree. We glue a synthetic winterizer on this place, having previously fluffed it. We got snow.

On the surface of our base, in some places we apply structural paste or semolina mixed with PVA glue, imitating snow. You can add frosty patterns with a multi-colored sequined outline (a silver sequined outline works well too).

We apply patterns to the watch using the same contour. We can glue the clock to the base of our composition with double-sided tape, or with hot glue.

Well, our gift is ready!

A very simple composition in its execution is ready to please those to whom we will present it. By the way, you can easily make a Christmas tree in any style that is convenient for you.

The main thing is to make sure that you are as satisfied as possible with your own work. After all, if you like the craft, then others will certainly like it. My task is to suggest an interesting idea and show my version of its implementation. Therefore, where you see fit, show as much imagination as possible and you will get magnificent crafts that you can be proud of.

Creative success to you!

I wanted to make such a New Year's alarm clock last year, but my hands did not reach. Therefore, this year I decided not to postpone until the last minute, and began to prepare for this wonderful winter holiday in advance.

I needed the following materials:

- dial printed on photo paper
- cardboard of two types: very thin, which easily takes a curved shape, and dense
- scissors
- pen or pencil
- hot glue gun
- corrugated paper
- stationery tape
- ruler
- sewing tape
- New Year's thin red tinsel (1 cm wide)
- small Christmas decorations (bow, Santa Claus, gifts)
- Konafetto sweets

Work progresss:

To make the watch face as beautiful as possible, I printed it on photo paper.

Now you can start gluing the base for the alarm clock. I take one circle and with the help of a thermal gun I apply glue along its edge, immediately gluing the sides of the base.

I cover the base with corrugated paper. To do this, I cut out two circles from it, slightly larger in size than the base itself, and glue them. Then I cut out a strip equal to the height of the base and glue it, thus hiding all the irregularities.

In the center to one of the sides of the base, I glue the dial.

Now you can start gluing candies. The height of the base is shorter than the length of the candy. They should protrude after gluing to the front side. The wrapper of Konafetto sweets is very thin, it can melt under the influence of hot hot melt adhesive. Therefore, you need to apply it only on top of the stationery tape. This is what happens after gluing all the candies.

It remains to glue the tinsel around the dial and decorate the alarm clock as desired. I glued a bow, Santa Claus and a gift in the lower right corner. I needed two more gifts for the top of the alarm clock.
