There are so many different ways to make DIY fidget spinners, so here is my version of it!! I've seen DIY fidget spinners made from skateboard bearings, paper, bottle caps, coins, magnets, toothpicks etc. There are basically two distinct parts to a DIY fidget spinner toy: 1) How to add weight to the spinners 2) How make the spinning mechanism. I wanted to come up with a solution to both that doesn't require finding objects of specific sizes/diameters or buying skate bearings.

My initial idea for weighing down the fidget spinners was to use something malleable like clay, plasticine or sand. Sand/play-doh would require making a lid which seems unnecessary complicated and air-dry clay doesn't feel like an "everyday item" for most people. Then I had the idea of using rice with glue, which was a much more elegant solution since the mixture simply hardens into the lid like plastic.

The central spinner part of the DIY fidget spinner took much longer to create :P! My original idea was to use a round sponge as the "bearing" and run the paper tube through it similar to the "toothpick method" that you see in other DIY fidget spinner videos. I glued the two pins to the lid and thought the tube will spin around the metal pins. This was a total fail btw. After a lot more fiddling, I removed the sponge and discovered that the pins and tube spin surprisingly well if they are not attached to the plastic part of the lid in any way. Thus a new fidget spinner was born ;D.

This was my first time painting emoji faces and it was really fun! Bear in mind that many emojis are harder to draw/paint than they look because there are often lots of tiny details in the eye or mouth area. So be sure to pick ones that have big areas of colour, like the heart, normal smiley face or sunglasses emoji.
