Score one card base at 4 1/4" and fold in half.

Mark the cardstock 3/8 from both ends.

Step 2

Now make a mark 1 in from each of the 3/8

marks.

Step 3

Draw a line across the base 1 3/4" from the

edge.

This will be covered up and is only a guide to

cut to.

Step 4

Cut from each mark up to the guideline.

Step 5

Fold the strips/tabs in as shown.

Shut the card to create creases.

Step 6

Cut two small slits on the edges of each tab.

Step 7

Fold the strips in to allow the skewer to slide

through.

Trim the edges of the skewer to be slightly

shorter than the card.

Step 8

Punch a small hole approximately 3/4" in from

both sides of the back of the card.

The holes should be slightly above the bottom

tab.

Step 9

Feed your string through one hole and adhere.

Step 10

Wrap string around skewer at least a few times

and feed it through the other hole.

Close card and adhere the second end of the

string.

Step 11

Practice opening and closing the card to see if

you need to adjust the tension of the string.

The skewer should rotate when opening and

closing the card.

Step 12 (Optional)

Score both 2 1/2" x 2" cardstock strips inhalf (at the 1" mark).

This will help keep the skewer in place.

Step 13 (Optional)

Embellish/stamp both 1 1/4" x 2 1/4" strips

and attach to the front of the tabs.

Step 14

Embellish and stamp one side of both 2 1/2" x

2" cardstock strips. These should be identical

on both sides as they will be the spinning

element.

Place one embellished strip underneath the

skewer, decorated side down. Add adhesive to

the outside edges of the strip, then adhere the

second embellished strip to the first.

Step 15

Adhere small buttons to the top and bottom

of the skewer to prevent it from sliding.

Step 16

Adhere to the inside of the second card base.
