I love clocks in every room but it has to be just the right one and I love different and this fits right in. How clever to use card stock for the spears coming out of the clock. This project can be done by anyone with a little help with drilling for little ones. Why not let them make one for their own roomand do as a family project. They will be so proud of it. Very inexpensive,fast and easy to make with agreat tutorial. Let's see what you come up with.
