You can make a wonderful spinner from a paper cup. You will need a wooden stick, stiff straw, cutter, tape and of course a paper cup. First cut the cup into two equal parts with a cutter. Then take one-half and cut it into two-quarters. You will need these two quarters for making the spinner. Keep one-quarter cup on the other and with a needle make a hole on the side. Take a stiff straw and make a hole with a needle on its end. Press fit a round stick in this straw. Then place the two quarter-cups at the two ends of this stick. Adjust the angles of the cups and apply glue to keep them in place. Finally place a loose stick in the straw. Place the whole assembly under the fan and the Cup Spinner will rotate very smoothly. Decorate the cups with color tape and enjoy their spinning under a fan.
