Wall Clock for Kids - a felt board

How to make a wall clock for kids. This is a felt board, a clock with detachable numbers and movable arms.



Materials: 2 felt sheets (24 x 35 cm), colorful felt for details and numbers, assorted thread, a button, scissors, Velcro, a tiny bell, ribbon.
I sew this board only by hand. It is a project for intermediate level and it is an easy sewing tutorial.

I make the round for clock to fit in my page. I used yellow color for contrast. I cut the small pieces without a pattern: the bird and her wing, 2 circles for the sun, some round pieces for flowers, leaves, a brown branch, the caterpillar. I will post later the pattern for the hands and numbers.


For the numbers I used some traced pattern that I made in a Word sheet, printed and cut. 



I sew Velcro squares on the clock for numbers. For the numbers, first I sew the Velcro on the back, then I sew the both pieces for each number.




I sew the details: the sun, the bird, the flowers. For the bird, I attach a tiny bell in the beak. 


For the caterpillar I cut 5 green circles and I sew them. Then I make with black thread the eyes, the mouth and the antennas. For the flowers: I sew them only in the middle with yellow thread. 


The hands: they have different colors. I cut them and I make a button hole at the end. I sew the button on the clock. The hands are movable. 


Last step: I sew together the both sheets of felt with blanket stitches on the edges. But First I place the ribbon for hanging. 



This is the clock. Make one for your kids. Use your design, add your details.
