Coo Coo Clock Designed for Alpha Stamps

As soon as I found out that this month’s theme at Alpha Stamps was birds and saw the chipboard bird houses (pictured below) I thought coo coo clock!  At the top is an opening for the bird to pop in and out of.  On the ledge are figures that on a real elaborate clock would circle the clock coming in and out of doors on each side.

I used a matchbox to accommodate the gears, pendulum and weights.

I cut off one end of the matchbox drawer.

I attached the mechanics inside of the matchbox drawer using glue and a brad.

I covered the matchbox casing with paper and glued the drawer into the casing.  Lastly, I glued the matchbox to the back of the clock.

I made the ledge by cutting a name plate into two pieces, inking the one piece and gluing it to the clock.
