Cut out the dial - we need two pictures: one with numbers, the other just for New Year's reverse side hours.
	We apply the dial to the foam plastic 5 cm thick and trace it. We cut out the outline with a convenient knife and clean the sides with it.
	We glue the dial and the back side onto cardboard for greater strength.
	Cut a strip of corrugated paper 4-6 cm wider than the side. Apply a little hot glue in the center of the strip. You should not apply it to foam plastic, as there is a high chance of burning it. Immediately glue the sidewall.
	We make cuts on the corrugated paper and glue it completely to the plane of the future watch. Now we begin to glue the candies to the side. This can be done using double-sided tape.
	It is good to decorate the candies and, in addition, secure them with a beautiful satin ribbon. Secure the tip of the tape with hot glue or a piece of tape.
	We attach two large candies to the top of the clock in the manner of an alarm clock. We glue two flat large candies to the bottom, which will serve as stable legs.
	We finish the work by gluing the arrows.

Clock hands are made from ribbons, cardboard, stickers, oracals, beads, and braid.
