Anyone that has watched "The Wheel of Fortune" has longed to spin that giant prize wheel. When nosotros went to the fair terminal summer, in that location were booths ready amongst smaller, but awesome prize wheels that the kids got to spin...once. Only once? I vowed to remedy that.
Say howdy to the DIY spinner prize wheel!
Supplies:
1 Wooden Lazy Susan 1 Board slightly larger than the spinner
1 Wooden dowel, 1/2 inch broad together with most three inches long
1 Zip Tie
1" nails
Dry Erase Vinyl Acrylic Craft Paint/Paintbrush
Wooden 2" ball
Washi Tape
Tools:
Drill Bit the size of the wooden dowel
E6000 gum
Hammer
Begin past times setting the Lazy Susan on the board together with marking where the wooden dowel should go. About 1 inch away from the Lazy Susan together with off to the correct side. Then drill most a 1/2" hole for the dowel to stick inside. Then pigment the board together with Lazy Susan amongst acrylic arts and crafts pigment together with permit them dry.
Next nosotros bespeak the dry out erase vinyl.
I've done these boards a few ways now, together with this is the best agency yet. Cut a slice of vinyl the size of the Lazy Susan together with draw roughly it on the backside of the vinyl.
Then cutting out the circle together with cutting an additional one-half inch or thus from the edge. Then pare off the newspaper backing together with house the vinyl on the operate past times of the Lazy Susan.
It's non perfectly straight, but no large deal. Next, job some fun Washi record to brand the department divisions. (The thinner strips of Washi tape, the better). Hot gum the ends of the washi record downwards firmly.
Next, hammer those 1 inch nails inwards betwixt each "pie piece" section.
Now plough over the Lazy Susan together with add together E6000 Glue all over the role that sits on the table. Then press it into house on the wooden board.
Be patient together with don't seek to spin it until it's completely dry. Trust me on this!
Scrunch a nix necktie onto the operate past times of the dowel...cut the nix necktie thus it is long plenty to hitting all the nails equally they spin by! It also makes a real satisfying clicking sound.
Now sand 1 side of the wooden ball smooth, thus it sits firmly on the table. Then job E6000 to gum it inwards the ticker of the spinner wheel.
For the start spinner cycle I made, I cutting these triangles out of the vinyl. It was difficult to business them upwards perfectly together with the tips of them lifted subsequently a while. This is why I recommend the total vinyl amongst washi record equally outlined above.
Use a dry out erase marking to write your hearts desires onto the triangles!
Have the kids spin the cycle from 1 blast or from the ball inwards the center. They volition bring a style to affect the dry out erase vinyl together with mess upwards the writing from fourth dimension to time. It's an slow create though--just proceed those dry out erase markers on hand!
Fun ideas to write on the spinner prize wheel:
- Chores
- Things to do/places to become this summer
- 30 instant activities (run, jump, crawl...)
- Church lessons
- Birthday party games
- Trunk-or-Treat
- Carnivals or Fundraiser prizes!
My kids dear to play amongst it! I intend they each spun the cycle 100 times---and did lots of jumping jacks, push-ups together with regular army crawls without complaint!
Erases easily. I wipe amongst a babe wipe. Wipe from the ticker to the edge. Sometimes the sparse plastic canvass on the operate past times of the vinyl starts to peel...no problems thus far, but they volition live slow to supervene upon when they are besides worn.
Ultimate Prize wheel!
