Time for Love!

Are you looking for a fun and inventive gift to make for Valentine's day? Here's our idea for a beautiful Heart Clock - and you'll be amazed at how easy it is!

---

What You'll Need:

• an old stand up calendar from last year (or a piece of thick cardboard folded in half)


• white & red construction paper


• embroidery thred


• two buttons


• permanent marker


• ruler


• glue


• clock kit

Making Your Clock Tick!

1. First, you'll need to remove the calendar pages from the stand, then secure the stand back together - we just stringed embroidery floss through the top of our stand and anchored the ends with buttons.



2. Next, punch a hole in the center of the stand (use your ruler to find the exact center).



3. Cut a piece of white cunstruction paper to fit on your stand. Cut out four red hearts and glue to your white paper at the 12, 3, 6, and 9 'o clock positions.



4. Write the numbers on your hearts and draw dots in the 1,2,4,5,7,8,10, and 11 'o clock positions (use a ruler to make sure you get your measurements just right).



5. Finally, attach your clock kit. You can purchase a simple clock kit at just about any hardware or electrical store for only about $6.



6. You're done! Have fun experimenting with different clock designs and different sizes. What a fun new way to use those old calendar stands!
