Fidget Spinners 2.0

Hi All,

Like all, I bought many fidget spinners for my son, they did not last long.. may be poor quality or just rough usage.

I had many bearing and plywood pieces from previous projects. So thought to make wooden fidget spinners

In this instructable, will share two types of fidget spinner made from recycled items

Step 1: Bat Fidget

This one is my favorite

Material

• 5mm x 100 mm x 60 mm MDF sheet
• 10mm bearing
• old Nerf gun bullet head
• Two nuts

Tools

• Super Glue
• Sandpaper
• paper knife

Steps

• Drill a hole at the center of MDF piece
• Free hand draw Bat shape as shown
• Cut the Bat shape using a sharp paper knife
• It is easy to cut in straight line, once done use sandpaper to give curved edges
• Drill holes for the nuts and glue nuts in place
• Paint acrylic Black on the wood
• Fix two bullet heads on the bearing using wood skewer
