Paper Carousel

Or how to use your lazy Susan for a merry-go-round :)

You would need:

1. Cardboard
2. Used kitchen paper roll
3. Glue
4. Random decorations - glitter, fancy papers, I had some angels..
5. Well, if you want it to spin, a small turntable.


Start by cutting little triangle shapes with gluing allowance on the sides as shown below. 

Glue together 12 of those. Optionally, you could use different cardboard colours.

Cut some strips as wide as the bottom part of your construction.

Glue to the sides.

If you haven't used different cardboard colors, you can glue additional pieces on top.

Cut nice trims.

Glue on the bottom of your construction.

For the bottom you need two thick round cardboard pieces, and one thin to cover. Remember to measure your lazy Susan first - these pieces will go on top.

Find the center of your circle.

And attach your kitchen paper roll there.

Glue the second circle on top, and decorate or paint your kitchen roll.

Cover nicely with the thin circle.

You would need a smaller circle to attach to the construction you first created.

Put the kitchen roll through the small circle.

and glue. You can put a smaller circle on top to glue even better.

Fold your circle pieces...

... and glue to the top part, created earlier.

Decorate, decorate, decorate.

And you are ready! You can print small horses as cupcake toppers - neat, right? :)
