Quidditch Diorama Clock

For Halloween I made a diorama clock (http://www.instructables.com/id/Halloween-Diorama-Clock/). I wanted to make something on a smaller scale using a wrist watch.  It took me a while to decide on the theme for the diorama, but I happened to be watching a Harry Potter movie, when I thought, how about quidditch.  So in this diorama (which is 5cm diameter), the snitch travels around on the second hand, a Gryffindor seeker on the the minute hand and the Slytherin seeker (who is hanging off his broom) on the hour hand.  The hoops mark the 6 and 12 o'clock position, while the others times are marked by the viewing stands of the stadium.

Step 1 What you will need

• Small glass jar (the one I used held face cream)
• Watch
• Polymer clay
• Thin wood (I used 1/32" basswood from a hobby shop)
• Wire
• Sharpies
• Green felt or craft foam
• Needle nose plyers
• Vegetable steamer and pot

Nice! I got a similar idea for a snowglobe

This is really cool! Can we have a little video perchance?

[ChrysN]

Video added. You can see the snitch moving, but the two players move at a much slower rate, so you won't really notice it.

Really cool! A great way to reuse a jar, and could stand alone without the watch too.

Cute idea! So, if it's made with a wristwatch, is it still wearable?

[ChrysN]

I guess you could if you cut holes in the base and run a strap through. I never really thought about wearing it since it is a bit bulky for my taste. But interesting idea.
