1. Print the template on page 9 onto cover paper. Decorate using whatever materials you like. We have chosen to use coloured pencils. Allow to dry if needed.
2. Cut along the bold grey lines and to the grey star. Adult supervision is recommended when using scissors.
3. Fold along all of the light grey lines.
4. Use a CleverPatch™ Glue Stick to add glue to each of the 6 tabs. Attach each tab to the opposite inside piece.
5. Hold in place and allow to dry.
6. Carefully pierce the centre of the spinning top with a skewer. Push the skewer through the bottom so that it is protruding 1cm.
7. Using a Glue Gun, attach a coloured wooden bead to the base of the spinning top, leaving the point of the skewer showing. Adult supervision is recommended when using a glue gun.
8. Glue another coloured wooden bead to the top of the spinning top to hold it in place. This will also help it spin. Allow to dry.
