DIY Nelson Ball Clock

Thanks to crafty people who share their ideas online, I felt bold enough to make my own Nelson ball clock (the big one is from Design Within Reach). I'm not over the moon about the results, but it's good enough--that's my crafting mantra. When I was shopping for straight pins, it seemed these were too small but the next size was too big. I cut a piece of cork (bought at Michaels) and painted it. I cut out the hands from black card stock. Voila.
