Step 1

Paint edges of backing piece red. Allow to dry. Paint sides and inside edges of all photo cut outs on the front piece red, allow to dry. Mix water with PVA and brush onto the front of the front clock piece. Gently place spring azure paper onto glue covered front, smoothing out any bubbles. Allow to dry.

Turn front piece over so that the paper is face down on cutting mat. Using craft knife cut away paper from around edges of front piece and inside all photo cut outs.

Step 2

Cut out the circular design from the flutterby paper and glue to the centre of front clock piece, smoothing out any bubbles. Allow to dry.

Cut out photos and assorted pieces of printed papers to fit inside photo cut outs - 7cm x 7cm for square shapes and 14cm x 7cm for rectangle shapes.

Position photos and papers on top of backing piece of clock in desired positions. Lay the front clock piece over the top and adjust photos and papers to align with cut out holes. Gently remove front clock piece and one by one glue photos and papers to backing piece, smoothing out any bubbles. Allow to dry.

Step 3

Paint back of front clock piece with glue and stick to the top of backing piece, aligning side edges. Stretch large rubber bands over clock pieces to hold in position while glue is drying.

When dry embellish paper squares with brads (cut off metal prongs), stick on rhinestones and droplets.

Paint a butterfly wood flourish to match. Do not embellish the centre of frame where clock hands will turn.

Carefully cut away the paper covering the centre hole and attach clock mechanism according to instructions on clock packaging.
