There are different sizes, for the outside of the spinner some people get large zip ties but today I am using small zip ties. Put the zip ties around the 3 bearings. Then put zip ties in between the 3 bearings. Cut the excess plastic off. You can sand the edges, if wanted. Your spinner is no complete. But wait how do you spin it.
There are many ways to spin spinners, I will teach you 2 of those ways. One way is with one hand, the other way is with two hands. With two hands grab the fidget spinner in the middle in whatever way is comfortable for you. Use your other hand to flick it to make it spin. For one hand spinning, grab the center with your thumb and index finger. Flick the bottom bearing with your middle finger really hard. Act like you are actually flicking something. That is all I have for teaching you to make fidget spinners. Here’s one last tip for the optimal use of your fidget spinner. Do not let dirt or anything get in the middle bearing. Since there is no shield on the middle bearing, dirt can easily get in it. Anyway, Get your bearings, put the zip ties on them, then spin it. Have fun fidgeting with your brand new homemade fidget
