2. Draw a pattern onto your plate and then paint it. We created a Spiral pattern using Resene Yeehaa and Fundasia but be bold and experiment with different designs and patterns.

3. If your like you can paint different patterns on each side, or the same on both.

4. Using a sharp object make two small holes approximately 1cm on either side of the center of the paper plate. I first used a needle then a skewer to make the hole a little bigger.

5. Cut some string about 50cm in length and thread it through the two holes. Then tie the ends of the string together.

To use the spinner, just slip your fingers through the loop of each string, on either side of the spinner. Then spin it around and around until the string pulls nice and tight. Now pull the string out taught. It can take a few tries to get it right. But when you get it, it spins and makes wonderful patterns as it does.
