Description
Transform ordinary paper into mesmerizing spinners with this engaging DIY project, perfect for all ages and skill levels.
Ingredients
- Colored paper or cardstock
- Scissors
- A pencil
- Ruler
- String or a thin stick (like a skewer)
- A pushpin or small paper fastener
- Markers or crayons (for decoration)
- Tape or glue
Instructions
- Prepare Your Paper: Choose several colors of paper or cardstock. Measure and cut a square from your selected paper (about 6 inches by 6 inches) using a ruler.
- Create the Spinner Design: Fold the square diagonally in half and then unfold. Repeat with the opposite corners to create an “X” fold pattern on the paper. Draw shapes or designs on each quadrant created by the folds.
- Cut and Assemble: Cut along the folds from each corner toward the center, stopping about 1 inch from the center point. Fold alternate corners towards the center and secure each folded corner with tape or glue.
- Insert the Spinner Center: Push the pushpin or paper fastener through the center of the spinner, attaching the other end to the string or stick.
- Test and Enjoy: Hold the string or stick and give your spinner a whirl. Adjust the balance if needed by repositioning the center point.
Notes
Customize your spinner design with various shapes and decorations. Ensure adult supervision for younger children when using scissors.
