PRESENTASI PRODUK KERAJINAN "JAM KORAN KEREN" - SMAN 1 TARIK

Introduction

This tutorial will guide you through the process of creating a unique craft product, specifically a newspaper clock, as presented in the video "PRESENTASI PRODUK KERAJINAN 'JAM KORAN KEREN'". This project is not only a fun way to recycle old newspapers but also serves as a creative exercise in crafting and presentation skills.

Step 1: Gather Materials

Begin by collecting all the necessary materials for your newspaper clock project.

• Old newspapers
• Clock mechanism (you can buy this online or at a craft store)
• A round base (e.g., cardboard, wood)
• Scissors
• Glue or adhesive
• Ruler
• Pencil
• Paint or decorative elements (optional)

Practical Tip

Ensure the clock mechanism includes hands and a battery. Choose a base that is sturdy enough to support the clock.

Step 2: Design the Clock Face

Create an appealing design for your clock face using the gathered newspaper.

• Cut the newspapers into various shapes or strips.
• Arrange the cut pieces on the round base to form a decorative background.
• Use a ruler and pencil to mark where the clock numbers will go.

Common Pitfall

Avoid overcrowding the clock face with too many designs; simplicity often looks more elegant.

Step 3: Assemble the Clock

Now it's time to assemble the various components of your clock.

1. Apply glue to the back of each newspaper piece and attach them to the base.
2. Allow the glue to dry completely before moving to the next step.
3. Once dry, make a small hole in the center of the base for the clock mechanism.

Practical Tip

Ensure that the hole is just the right size for the clock mechanism to fit snugly.

Step 4: Install the Clock Mechanism

With the base prepared, install the clock mechanism.

• Insert the clock mechanism through the hole you made.
• Secure it from the back of the base using the provided nut.
• Attach the clock hands according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Real-World Application

You can personalize the clock hands to match your design theme—consider painting them or using washi tape.

Step 5: Final Touches

Make any final adjustments or decorative additions to enhance your clock.

• Add numbers using paint or stickers, placing them where you marked earlier.
• Consider adding a protective finish to the newspaper to enhance durability.

Conclusion

Creating a newspaper clock is a rewarding and environmentally friendly project that combines crafting with practical skills. By following these steps, you can produce a unique timepiece that showcases your creativity. For your next steps, consider exploring other recycled materials for craft projects or challenge yourself to create additional decorative items for your home. Enjoy crafting!
