This unusual cuckoo clock is based on a rustic Stretched Canvas one with linen covering. Roof and pendulum are made of Felt checked fabric. The clou: The cuckoo is represented by a "substitute".

It's that simple:

The collecting mains for roof and hearts on Felt and the Karostoff transfer, cut out and the Fabric cuts with wood glue on Felt fix. Important: The Felt-cuttings are needed twice each, because the two parts are sewn together and padded. The fabric cut-out is glued to only on the visible front.

Mark markings in a distance of 2 cm around the roof and punch holes in the Felt with the big eyelet punch.
Sew the two parts together with felt cord and pad them with filling cotton wool. Sew two Felt-hearts together with grey sewing thread and pad them with cotton wool. Stick on small hearts, attach felt cord for hanging with hot glue.
Cut a small hole in the middle of the stretcher and mount the Quartz-movement behind it. First attach a disc of bark, then the hands.

As hour markers make circles of fabric with Ø 3 cm and of bark with Ø 2 cm and glue them on.
To stick the zigzag-Ribbon on Stretched Canvas and on the roof, fix a felt cord around the hearts and the Stretched Canvas . Mount the pendulums with hot glue on the back of the stretcher frame.
Additionally, fix the roof to Stretched Canvas with hot melt adhesive points.

Decorate the finished clock with decorative deer, satin scattered roses, edelweiss and bows made of checked fabric.
Finally, paint an edelweiss on the hour hand and a white tip on the minute hand.
