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.

After assembling, would you spray it with a protective spray, like poly types?

Hi there, an acrylic coating is a great idea, especially if you'd prefer a glossy finish. Thanks! - Julia from FaveCrafts
