How to Make a Spinner

Spinners are a lot of fun to make at home or at school, especially when you are bored. All you need to make one is paper, scissors, and patience.

1. Get some printer paper.(it also works with loose leaf notebook paper;D)
   
   
2. Fold the piece of paper in half Vertically.
   
   
   
   
   
3. Cut down the crease.
   
   
4. Fold the two large rectangles in half vertically, so that they become long and skinny.
   
   
   
   
   
5. Fold the bottom corner of each rectangle to the right, so that it forms a triangle shape.
   
   
   
   
   
6. Repeat at the top, except this time, make sure the triangles are facing left.
   
   
   
   
   
7. Put one of the rectangles (it should have the little triangles) facing vertically upward.
   
   
8. Put the other rectangle horizontally, facing down in the space between the two triangles on the other rectangle.
   
   
9. Fold the bottom triangle to the center, then fold the left triangle to the center, overlapping the one you just folded. With the top triangle, fold to the center also.
   
   
10. Fold the right triangle so it overlaps the top triangle and make sure it goes under the bottom triangle.
    
    
    
    
    
11. Now that you have finished, you can decorate it if you like!
    
    
12. Finished.
    
    

• If you want to make it faster, you can take a pencil and stick it through the center or tape the bottom (clear tape only). Thumb tacks are also great for speed. You may even win.
• You can make them colorful.
• You can draw on them so that they will make cool designs when they spin.
• Teach your friends how to make them so you can battle them and so you keep them.
• This is a really fun activity to do at school or at home.
• To make your spinner look even more cool and you have a printer, print something that you like, like a wrestler, a game, or a movie. It's great to glue the image or tape it.
• If you don't won't to design them, then you can just make them and play with them with your friends. They don't have to have a design although they are much cooler with the design.
• If you don't have scissors you can slide your mouth across the crease and tear it or you can keep folding it until it rips then tear it.

• If the ends are pointy, don't throw them at other people.
• When playing with these, make sure you don't get caught by a teacher; you will get in trouble!
• These can be really dangerous so be careful.
• Some schools give detentions for having spinners.
