This spinner toy twirls as it spins, makes all kinds of beautiful patterns and they are fun to play with! Given below are the steps to make them courtesy of teachbesideme.com.
You will need paper (colored paper), a long wooden skewer, and glue.
Cut 8 strips of paper (11 inches long, 1/2 inches wide) Use 8 different colors to make it rainbow and colorful. But you can do it all from one piece of paper, too! cut 4 circles(1 1/2 inches in diameter) for attaching the paper strips. Start by rubbing glue from a glue stick all over one of the circles. Arrange one end of the paper strips evenly around the circle. Keep adding glue as they overlap around the circle. Cover the top with another circle to secure them in place.
Now, you will do the same with another circle. This time, bring the other ends of the paper strips up and attach them to the circle. Once they are all attached with glue, cover again with another circle to secure them. Now put the wooded skewer through the center of both circles of paper. Start the hole with a pin, then push the pointy end of the skewer up through the center of the paper spinner.
On the top circle, cover the top with hot glue to keep it from moving. Reach the glue gun in to the bottom side of that top circle and add some hot glue there, too. This will keep the whole top section from moving as the spinner toy spins.
The bottom hole will need to be stretched out just a little bit. Just move the skewer around in the hole to make it a little wider. This will allow it to spin freely. Now you can play with your Twirling paper spinner toy! Just roll the stick between both hands and watch it twirl!
