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
