Hey guys it's Wengie, welcome back
aaaaannnndd
Fast forward hug! *turn table slowing sound affect*
I've been seeing Fidget Spinners like everywhere
so I had to make a video because I found out
how to DIY my own Fidget Spinner
so i'm gonna show you how to do that today.
Also some amazing tips and hacks you guys can do
with your Fidget Spinners as well.
Oh my gosh guys, I'm literally obsessed not only with
Fidget Spinners but with Musically as well so if
you guys have it don't forget to check my Musically @
I'm gonna pop one right here, yes I'm gonna force one onto you right now.
But hold up if you guys aren't part of the fam yet here already I encourage you guys to join
You guys are the most amazing bunch of people in the world
and that's why I'm doing a Macbook Air giveaway for you guys.
So all you need is to be a part of the fam which means subscribe to this channel
as well as Reacticorns which is my daily reaction channel as well
that is link down below and that is literally it, so good luck!
And let's get this video to 100,000 likes
that would be amazing
So if you like Fidget Spinners, give this video a thumbs up.
And without further ado
let's get on with the video.
Let's go!

Fidget Spinners are so much fun to play with
and apparently they are actually originally made to help kids with ADHD concentrate in class
to replace things like tapping your hands on the table or spinning pens
So if you have trouble concentrating you might want to try one of these
The first thing I like to do is
acutally customize mine.
That way it will be so much more personal and unique
and you won't mistake it for someone else's
There are so many ways you can customise yours
but for something simple I just used some glitter nail polish
to paint on this beautiful unicorn metallic Fidget Spinner
and I thought it looked so cool
You can use any colour you like of course
and customise it to your liking
and nail polish is so easy to control and make your own designs with
You can even hide scratches or marks
so that's a bonus!
It's like giving a worn Fidget Spinner a new coat of paint
so it looks brand new.
*music plays*
After long periods of use your Fidget Spinner will eventually get dirty
and will result in your Fidget Spinner not spinning as smoothly as it should
as the dirt clogs up the bearings
So the first thing you should do is
regularly clean out the dust and hair
from the centre bearing of your spinner.
First you need to pop off the covering caps
on both sides so you can see the actual bearings
and then pick out any obvious dust
and the clean the rest using a brush.
If you do this regularly you'll get your
Fidget Spinner spinning longer and smoother.
You'll really notice the difference.
*music plays*
If you want to give your spinner a more thorough clean
the best thing to do is actually use rubbing alcohol.
First you need to pop off the covering caps on both sides
pour some rubbing alcohol out into a small bowl
and just drop your spinner into it.
Let it sit there for a few minutes
and then give it a bit of a scrub as well.
I found this tiny little brush which is really handy
for this part, it's actually a dental floss brush
so grab it from your grocery store.
Rubbing alcohol is perfect because it
dries on its own and won't leave any
rust on your spinner.
As you can see there is quite a lot of dirt in spinners
even this one was is literally brand new
which I haven't even used that much
so imagine what your spinner could look like inside
after you've used it for a while.
That's very nice!
*music plays*
The next trick that I thought was super cool is the hack
that allows your Fidget Spinner to look like it's warping.
Just hold it up against the window
and then use a camera that
shoots in any less then 30 frames per second.
This is actually most cameras including
your phone camera.
And the effect of the warp is just
so interesting.
It looks kinda weird
but it's also super cool!
You can definitely show this one to your friends
and I think they'll be pretty impressed.
So get to it right away guys
before all the Wengiecorns start doing it. *giggle*
*music plays*
So this next hack will allow you to get more
momentum when you spin your Fidget Spinner.
You'll need three extra bearings
which you can either get from a skateboard
or another Fidget Spinner.
The kind of Fidget Spinner shown here
you can actually slightly push the bearings
on the outside halfway out of their hole.
Next take your extra bearings
and insert them in with the other bearing
and you'll snap in and basically
double up on the outside bearings
which will increase their weight and momentum
when you spin it.
Pretty cool right?
*music plays*
If you're using a Fidget Spinner to concentrate in class
you definitely don't want it to be spinning really loudly
or squeakily and this can sometimes happen
with cheap spinners
or a super old spinner.
So the best thing to do is actually to open up
the centre lid of your spinner
and gently smear some coconut oil, WD40
or any other door hinge lubricant on the inside.
You'll find that your Fidget Spinner is now
super quiet and won't disturb any of the other kids
or attract the attention of your teacher, which we don't want.
*music plays*
A super cool trick you can try
is to actually use a pen or pencil to turn
your Fidget Spinner into a spinning top.
First you need to find something that fits
on the inside of the bearing
for me it was the tip of this pen.
And then basically just give it a good spin
and it will spin just like a spinning top.
I thought this was super cool!
*music plays*
Sometimes Fidget Spinners can be a little bit hard to grip
and for me because I have such long nails
that need to be done by the way
it's hard to actually spin the spinner
without hitting the sides.
So you can actually increase the height
of the centre cap
and improve the grip by sticking a
cute little button.
The one I use here is a super cute glass button on the top.
Just stick it on with some hot glue and you're done.
And feel free to think of other ideas
like using a coin and then using nail polish to cover it up
or things like that.
But basically this made it so much easier
for me to hold and spin
and you can customise it to whatever height is perfect for you.
*music plays*
Lastly, did you know you can DIY your own Fidget Spinner?
That's right! All you need is some old Skateboard bearings
and some hot glue.
First you need four bearings arranged like this.
Take the middle bearing which will be the spinning bearing
and take it apart.
You'll need to give it a good clean
in rubbing alcohol to get all the grease out.
Then reassemble it and arrange the four bearings like this.
Mark the spots where each outside
bearing connects to the centre bearing
and then use a small amount of hot glue
to glue them all in place.
Next, I used some double sided scotch tape
and very carefully stuck it around the outside
of the four bearings.
Once that was in place I used some
coloured shoe laces and stuck that to the outside
of the scotch tape.
This is still pretty unstable
so you need to take your glue gun and fill in
all the holes and the corners that are now open
and that will make your DIY Fidget Spinner
much stronger.
Lastly I added some glass buttons on
as a cap and that's it
You guys can probably make it look so much nicer than mine
I just thought it was so awesome that I could make
my own Fidget Spinner that I had to try it out myself!
*music plays*
