Step one: do shell preform sticks for ice cream
Take two sticks and cut them lengthwise into two equal parts. You should have four sticks.
Place the five pristine sticks as close to each other and lubricate the surface of the adhesive. The second layer, place four sticks in the middle of the untouched and cut two sticks on the sides. The third and fourth layer of the first and second repeat. We should get a blank of four layers of sticks.
Step two: do body
Place the bearing and three stacks of coins at the workpiece edge. Determine the optimal size of the spinner. We were founded upon the square of 9 × 9 cm. Cut the rounded edge of the sticks to get the designated square.
On the square we need to make a layout of an isosceles triangle with sides of 9 cm. In order to get a smooth triangle, draw a length of 9 cm from the middle of one of the sides of the square and connect the ends of the segments.
Spend median to each side of the triangle. The point of intersection of the medians, and will be the center of our spinner and bearing position. Measure 2.5 cm from the top on each of the fatty medians and mark points. At the site of the points will be located our loads from stacks of coins.
Place the bearing and coins on the workpiece according to the marks and draw a pencil. Use awl or a sharp knife to make holes, then expand them using stationery knife. Do not overdo it: our loads and the bearing must be fixed firmly to make a hole without the help of glue.
Now it's time to cut our triangle of the square and go to the processing of forms spinner.
Measure centimeter, starting from the middle, along each side of the triangle and put a mark. Dot on medians at a distance of 7 mm from the middle of the triangle sides. Connect the dots. A triangle must be cut.
Step three: the final touches
Glue the three piles of coins of four pieces each. After painting the stack will need to be inserted into the knockout holes. Walk on the surface of the body with sandpaper and cover it with paint.
And while the paint dries, we can bring to bear the remainder of the blank and make a second spinner.
Step Four: Making a second spinner from the remaining portion of the workpiece
Make a hole in the center for a bearing portion of the preform from the remaining sticks. Set an arbitrary shape of the spinner, but do not forget about balance. Do the four screw holes, cut the edges with sandpaper. Cover the body paint, and when it dries, tighten the screws and secure them with nuts.
If you want to get the two working spinner, you have to buy another one bearing and two additional buttons on denim garments.
Step Five: improving bearings
Spinner to lie comfortably in the hand, stick to the inside of the top and bottom buttons of denim clothing or on a pushpin with a sufficiently broad hat. Insert bearing any of the resulting spinners. Our anti-stress toys ready.
