Layered Cut-Out Numbered Clock Blank – 20cm DIY Kit

Our Layered Cut-Out Numbered Clock Blank is the perfect solution for crafters who want to achieve clean, crisp lines without intricate masking. Because the numbers are cut out of the top layer, you can paint the backing plate a vibrant or metallic shade to make the time easy to read from across the room. Consequently, this design is both a functional tool and a modern piece of wall art.

Reliable Assembly and Timing

To ensure your clock runs perfectly, we recommend our optional quartz clock mechanisms. These units are chosen for their reliability and silent, smooth operation. Before you begin assembly, please follow our instructional video to learn how to fit the movement correctly.

Assembly Reminder: You must remember to remove the clear protective plastic covers from the hands before fitting them. If the hands are too long, simply use household scissors to trim them to your preferred length.

Creative Styling for a 3D Effect

The layered nature of this Layered Cut-Out Numbered Clock Blank offers endless artistic possibilities. For example, you might:

• Create High Contrast: Paint the top face a dark charcoal and the backing plate a bright neon or shimmering gold.

• Natural Texture: Stain the top layer with a wood dye and use a flat matte black for the backing plate for a rustic, industrial feel.

• Glow in the Dark: Use luminescent paint on the backing plate so the numbers glow through the cut-outs at night.

Expert Finishing Tips

We suggest using a strong superglue to bond the two plates together once your paint is fully dry.
