Step 3The Lowest Part with the Segments
1: Get a wide cookie can that is about this wide.
2: Draw a line all around it on about 3.5 cm from the bottom.
3: cut the above part off. You can do this with a cutting pliers.
4: make a layer of clay on the side of it, and make it round on top. Try to make it flat, so the whole side on one height. Then bake it. You can later paint this side.
5: Get a piece of wood of about the size of the clock motor. If you lie the motor on top of it on the middle of the can, the black part of the motor should be below the sides of the can. But not too far below, best is about 1 mm, so the white thing in the middle is higher than the sides. This piece of wood is actually just to save clay.
6: Now make this with clay. Take the color of clay you want it to be in the end, because you shouldn't paint this part as else your cat could eat the paint, unless you have real good paint. Also, with clay you can just wash it out with water. I made the motor holder in the middle square-shaped on bottom, so the shape of the motor, and round on top, so the shape of the disc.
7: Fit in the motor. If it doesn't fit, you can vile the corners a bit out with a dremel, and you can later soften it with a polish bit. You can best use a polish bit on all of the clay, to make it smooth, that looks better. You probably had some fingerprints in it somewhere, you can wash them away.
