Seasons Clock

This is a clock that also, in a way, tells you the Seasons. This is because the 12th month (December) is when summer starts and the 3rd month (March) is when autumn starts, and so on. (Note: this is according to New Zealands seasons, so you will have to change the seasons maybe). The clock is mostly made of cheap materials like popsicle sticks and card. It is customisable, so it doesn't have to be seasons that you draw and the card doesn't have to be blue. That's about it, but did anyone else know how the seasons and a clock are so similiar, cause I only figured it out when I was creating this instructable.

1. About 150 popsicle sticks.
2. Scissors
3. PVA or wood glue
4. Mint tins or similiar
5. Card
6. Clock mechanism and hands
7. Battery that fits the clock piece
8. Super glue
9. Please ignore the pliers pic

First step is to grab your 150 popsicle sticks and make 1 square using 11 stickks. Then glue another 11 sticks on top going the opposite direction. Do this 1 more time and that is done. Then do that entire step 3 more times so you have 4 squares. Once that is done, cut a piece of card of your choice into a square. Make sure there is a gap in between your squares. (About 2 or 3 cm). Glue the squares into each corner of the card.

Next is the creative and my favourite part. You now have to draw a scene or image of your choice on the squares. I went with the seasons because it basically kills two birds with one stone. I used markers but you can use paints if you want. When you've finished your drawings, you put numbers on each one in a way you like.

Next step is to attach the clock piece to the clock. To do this you have to poke a hole in the center of the card. Take the hands off the clock piece and push it up through the hole. Then put the hands back on. If the hands aren't high enough like mine we're then you can slightly bend them up so they don't hit the squares.

Final step is to glue Mint tins or something similiar on to the back of the clock. This is so everything is balanced and not flimsy. Once that is done you can put in the battery and hang it on your wall.
