Pencil Craft knife & cutting mat Glue gun Black fast-dry enamel spray paint, £3.99 for 100ml, Plasti-kote Black card Scissors & tape Clock movement, £3.80, Clockparts
Step onePress the cardboard tubes flat and draw lines at 2cm intervals along the width of each. Place on a cutting mat and cut with a craft knife. Arrange six pieces into a flower shape with a hole in the centre. Glue together and add more pieces to form a large flower.
