You'll Need:
Clock
Round End Table (an inexpensive one!)
Glossy Black Lacquer
Adhesive (or, double-stick mounting tape)

First, clean the table, making sure to remove any dust. Then, place the table top-down on newsprint and paint the underside and legs. Allow the paint ample time to dry. Finally, once the paint has dried, flip the table right side up and affix the clock to the top with adhesive. It is important to use something strong enough to hold the clock in place but not permanently fix it, so you can replace the batteries inside when needed. You could also use double-stick mounting tape, which will strongly hold the clock in place but allows for easier removal in case of battery changes.
