Fidget Spinners DIY – 10 Designs

May 8, 2017

Ok, so we have gone a little CRAZY of Fidget Spinners here at Red Ted HQ. It all started with a “delayed” Fidget Spinner order.. and the belief of my children that I can make anything (hahahaha I have trained them well). So last Friday, I shared with your a super simple DIY Fidget Spinner Without Bearings (because we had no bearings, and neither do most of my readers). Over the weekend, we decided to make some more Easy Fidget Spinners – this time the “Tri Fidget Spinner” version. Yes, in essence they were/ are the same, but I added a free Fidget Spinner DIY template to that post to make life easier for you. IT ALSO got me thinking about the SCIENCE of Fidget Spinners.. and how Fidgets Spinners make a great Science Fair Project! There are so many elements from Centrifugal Forces, to Frictions and Optics, even sound that you can investigate with figdet spinners (I talk about the Science of Fidget Spinners here)… it made me think.. you guys need a WHOLE SET of DIY Fidget Spinners – a round up of the best and hopefully easy Fidget Spinner DIY ideas out there.. so I pulled together this list. They are quite “wide an varied”. Personally my favourite are of course our own no bearing Fidget Spinners, but I also LOVE the LEGO Fidget Spinner DIYs.

Oh.. and unless you are using them for the Science Fair.. here a 5 Reasons to Ban them from the classroom!

Now if you can get hold of some Ball Bearings (they can easily be purchased in here – US/ UK (aff links)) then all you need is some imagination to quickly and easily turn them into any kind of Ball bearing fidget spinner!

Ball Bearings are in actual fact not that expensive, but of course you have to get hold of some first! You then also need some seriously STRONG glue that will allow you to glue metal to metal.

      It is on this page https://www.redtedart.com/easy-fidget-spinner-diy-free-template/

      and you need to click on:

      —–> Get your Free Fidget Spinners Templates here <——- Print this out in A4 format to get the dimensions right. If your local dimensions are different, make sure the settings result in a printed Fidget Spinner template that is 8.2cm (ish) for the dual spinner and 5.5cm (from tip to edge) for the Tri Spinner templates. These are sizes that my kids (9yrs and 7yrs) found easy to handle.

    […] My version in the photos uses a basic store bought fidget spinner. The diameter is roughly 3 inches. If you are giving these out, it would be super fun to give out red fidget spinners, pink fidget spinners or heart fidget spinners with this. If you want something more DIY you could make some paper fidget spinners to go with it (but it could be kinda labor intensive if you're doing a lot!) or other DIY Fidget Spinners. […]
