Materials Needed for DIY Bunny Clock

1 Strip Balsa Wood

Something round/oblong/oval for tracing

Pencil

AA Battery

Steps: This is seriously a SUPER EASY little project! Don’t let any of these materials intimidate you!!! I left my wood raw because I love the look but if you want something painted on yours, now is the time to do that. I just free handed a little bunny nose and whiskers. I didn’t mind any imperfections because it’s supposed to be a little whimsical 🙂

Next I followed the directions on my clock kit. It’s pretty simple, just make sure you pay attention to the order you are supposed to put each hand on. I chose to leave the numbers off for a more modern, clean look.

After you have your clock mechanism all set it’s time to glue on the bunny ears. So fun!! I used a little paper ice cream bowl to get the rounded edge I needed on my balsa strip. Then used regular old scissors to cut along my rounded pencil line. Balsa is super easy to work with and cut. I used 1/8 inch thick but if I had it to do again I would probably buy 1/4 inch thick.

Now, you can make your ears in whatever shape you choose. I liked the look of these rounded but you could easily print out a template to trace to get the shape you want. I used a little wood glue on each ear and stuck them to the back of the wood clock round. Let your glue dry and you are done!
