The file for the clock faces is attached below. After printing out the clock faces on card stock, use scissors to cut them out. Work slowly and you should not have any issue making nice round faces.

I have added a second option for the clock faces where the minute dial is made of a transparent material. In this clock face option the minute dial will be on the outside ring and the hour hand will be on the inside ring.  The hour hand should still be printed on card stock. This option was suggested by many people in the comments. See the 2nd .pdf file below.

The second picture shows the holes that you want to make in the center of the faces (assuming you used the recommended clock movements). These holes can be cut with a small pair of scissors, however an easier way is to use hole punches. It turns out that 3/32 and 3/16 inch hole punches work perfectly.

Punching the round hole in the hour face is easy. The shape that is in the center of the minute hand can be achieved by using the 3/32 inch punch in two overlapping punches that stay within the red border marked on the minute face center. The third picture shows the first punch being made on the minute hand. If you look closely, you can see that there is still a area of paper not punched within the red border in the center of the face.
