Materials:

2 cake pans (8 and 12 inch diameters)
clock mechanism
drill and bit
decorative nuts and bolts
tape measure
paper
pencil

Steps:

  1. Find the center of both pans by making a paper template of the pans, folding it in quarters and unfolding it. Where the lines intersect will be the middle. Drill a hole through each that is large enough to accept the stem of the clock mechanism.
  2. Working in the larger pan, mark and drill holes to accept the decorative nuts and bolts at the three, six, nine and 12 o'clock positions. Create a 10-inch paper template, fold it in quarters and mark each time (figure A).
  3. Install the decorative nuts and bolts in the holes drilled in Step 2 (figure B).
  4. Place the smaller pan into the larger one and install the clock mechanism as directed in the instructions.
  5. Hang clock on wall using hanger on back of clock mechanism.
