Xacto Knife
Clock works
Coffee beans
Craft Glue
Brown Paint
Coffee Cup and Saucer
To make trace around the coffee cup rim to determine the size of foam circle you will need.
Cut the foam using the exacto knife a bit smaller than the cup so it slips in nice and easily, Cut a hole for the clock works as per the instructions on the clock works instruction sheet.
Paint the foam a coffee colored brown and allow it to dry.
Attach the clock hands and add the coffee beans with some craft glue to mark the 12 oclock, 6oclock 3 and 9 hand settings.
These make lovely clocks for office desks.
