"I drew it on paper. Then I traced it and cut it out of an Amazon Pantry box.
The green circles are from a plastic spool I had.
I straightened a piece of old curtain rod holder bigger than the green hole, tied the ribbon and a piece of black cord and threaded through the silver tube. (Solar outdoor lights stick).
I cut a piece of a pool noodle, used duct take and a glue gun to secure the silver light stick. I glue gunned and clamped them together.
I glued the circle I cut from the box, wrapped in foil, sprayed gold to the front of the green plastic circle.
Before I spray painted the circle and the other part, I stuck small pieces of duct tape to completely cover it. Then I spray it with the gold .
After it dried, I used the pattern and poked holes around the circles, through the cardboard.
I painted the inside of the small circles, black. Larger circle blue. I cut 3 more cardboard circles. Covered then in foil and painted them. I glue gunned them over the blue I painted. The ring around the gold circle, give the depth.
I threaded the blue through the holes I made. The smaller circles, I just poked the bulb through the holes in the cardboard.
I have extra lights on the string. I ended up running them around the edge of the whole thing.
I rolled the gold lights into a donut attached around the center hole.
Then I threaded the front piece through the hole in the spinner. That is a front and back view. You can hold the handle and use the ribbon like a necklace to help support the weight. The 2 battery packs are taped to the back of the spinner too." So cool!!
