2   Twist a 40 g tub of yellow Silk Clay with a bit of white, red and orange Silk Clay. Knead and twist to achieve the correct effect. If you knead for too long, you risk mixing the colours together to form one uniform mass.

11   Cut 12 pieces of bonsai wire to different lengths, enabling you to attach planets and stars with a different distance to the sun.
Guide step %d
12   Assemble the planets and the sun by pushing the planets onto one end of the bonsai wire and the other end into the sun. If you cannot push the bonsai wire into the sun far enough for it to be stable, then use some Sticky Base transparent, self-hardening modelling gel or some glue to secure it. Make sure that the planets are in the right order in relation to the clock; i.e. that the planet for 12 o'clock is directly opposite the planet for 6 o'clock. Remember all 12 pieces of bonsai wire.
Guide step %d
13   Decorate the last two pieces of bonsai wire that haven't got a planet using star stickers. You may stick two identical star stickers together around a piece of bonsai wire.
Guide step %d
14   You may decorate the rest of the wall clock with a few extra stars.
