  First you have to remove the label off of the CD. To do this use the scissors to make a straight scratch from the outer edge to the inner circle.

  cut off a few inches of packing tape and place it on the top of the CD across the scratch leaving some hanging over the edge.

  press the tape down good the grab the part hanging off and rip it off. this will remove the foil. Continue doing this till all the foil is removed.

  Step 6

  Use the polymer clay to make 4 small balls that will fit into the eye holes you made.

  Cut 4 small pieces of wire and place 1 ball on each wire. The wire should be placed off center like where the red dot is in the lack square. So that the eyes will stick out.

  Use the polymer clay to make the center clock part. By using your cat base and press it down over some flattened out clay to get the perfect shape.

  Time to put it all together.

  When you place the eyes in make sure the smaller part is in the back.Also check to make sure your eyes can move on the wire then glue down the wires at the top and bottom.

  Glue your clock part into place making sure the wire is on the top.

  Bend the top wire down so you can glue the tail to it. This will make it so your tail can move.

  On the cat base make sure not to glue any of the moving parts and to leave the bottom open so your tail can move.
