I used:
-Toothpicks (I happened to have the plain ones, but make sure that they'll fit in the bead!!!!)
-Nail art gems or just small craft gems
-Beads (the kind that have 3 corners that you might've used as a kid)
-Glue or nail polish top coat (I was too lazy to go get glue so I used a fast dry top coat)
-Tweezers (totally optional, I used it for getting the gems straight)
-Scissors
1. Cut one end of the toothpick so that it's flat, not pointed.
2. Put one bead on the flat end of the toothpick.
3. Decide how long you want the toothpick to go through the bead and cut. Make sure to leave a tiny bit of room so that it can still spin easily.
Optional- glue more small gems to the corners to make it look even more realistic.
It's too cute!!
5. Once you're happy with the body of the spinner, put the toothpick piece through the center again and glue a second gem onto the other end of the toothpick.
Tip: be super careful about not letting the glue touch the body or else it kinda sticks to itself and is harder to spin.
Let it dry for a while- depending on how long your glue takes to dry- and don't spin it or play around with it too much while it's drying or else it might get screwed up and that's never good. 😊
And you're done!!! This is just the most adorable, awesome little Fidget Spinner you've ever seen!! You can vary the color and kinds of gems for a different style. You can paint it with nail polish or some sort of paint if you really feel like it needs it. I wonder what a galaxy mini spinner would look like... We should totally ask a nail art YouTuber to paint one in some really cool way- I feel like they're the best at painting tiny awkward things! 😜
Thanks again for checking out my blog and I hope to see you back here soon!
Also, if you really like tiny things, then you should check out my post "Building the previously mentioned doghouse kit!!!" (It lights up- it looks like a mini-dog's party house!) and stay tuned to watch my Beachside Bungalow dollhouse kit come together!!
