Make this awesome world clock for Earth Day or any day! It's made from a CD or DVD. The graphic is drawn by Roy (my husband) and free to download on our site. This is a special edition of my other CD Clock tutorial. It also has a variety of free clock faces.
SUPPLIES
Cut out the earth and glue it onto your disk. NOTE: Make sure your printer is set to "print actual size" or it might be a tiny bit small. More details are on my site if you need more clarification. If using Mod Podge its a good idea to spray a fixing agent over the graphic so it won't smear.
Mark the center where your clock will go through.
The middle mechanism will stick through a ways due to how think the CD is.
Add the hands per the instructions.
We painted the back of our CD. Many clock mechanisms come with a hanging piece to hang on the wall. Or you can place it on small easel as we did. You can also make a small easel using our patterns & ideas.
