Paper Carousel

Picture
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. 
Picture
Glue together 12 of those. Optionally, you could use different cardboard colours.
Picture
Cut some strips as wide as the bottom part of your construction.
Picture
Glue to the sides.
Picture
If you haven't used different cardboard colors, you can glue additional pieces on top.
Picture
Cut nice trims.
Picture
Glue on the bottom of your construction.
Picture
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.
Picture
Find the center of your circle.
Picture
And attach your kitchen paper roll there.
Picture
Glue the second circle on top, and decorate or paint your kitchen roll.
Picture
Cover nicely with the thin circle.
Picture
You would need a smaller circle to attach to the construction you first created.
Picture
Put the kitchen roll through the small circle.
Picture
and glue. You can put a smaller circle on top to glue even better.
Picture
Fold your circle pieces...
Picture
... and glue to the top part, created earlier.
Picture
Decorate, decorate, decorate.
Picture
And you are ready! You can print small horses as cupcake toppers - neat, right? :)
