For further work, you will need glue for decoupage. You can create it yourself by mixing 1: 1 PVA with water. Put the cut napkin in the center of the workpiece and drip a drop of water in the middle. Now we glue the paper image to the tree in a spiral. This should be done carefully so as not to form folds. When you make sure that the napkin is without creases, you can apply glue. We leave the blank to dry, and then with the help of a wet sponge we form a beautiful edge of the product, removing all that is unnecessary. It remains to draw the numbers and varnish the workpiece. We put in the clock mechanism. Beautiful product is ready.

Separate the paper web into layers. From the top of the napkin cut a circle of the same diameter as the mark on the workpiece. Put the paper pattern into place and slightly moistening the napkin, smooth it on a wooden blank. Now fix the picture with glue. We print the stencil with the dial and cut it.
