Origami Finger Fidget Spinner instructions and tutorial

A fun and easy DIY project: learn how to make a cool origami Finger Fidget Spinner with only 1 sheet of copy paper, without bearings, cuts, holes or glue. It takes only a few minutes to make this paper hand spinner, and it is very easy to make it spin.

The finger fidget spinner is a special type of hand spinner that spins around your finger, and you can make it spin for hours!

To make this DIY hand spinner, all you need is one sheet of copy paper (A4 size or Letter size). You can use plain white printer paper, or you can use my printable template on the https://origami.plus web site to choose your colors and print a ready to fold template.

In the video I show how to fold the origami finger spinner using the printed template, but the folds are exactly the same if you use a white sheet.

It is very easy and fast to make this hand spinner, so you can make lots of them and make gifts for all your school or work place. Kids and adults as well will love it!

A lot of DIY fidget spinners are made with bearings, plastic, wood, glue, zip ties, caps, cardboard etc. For some you even need to melt gallium liquid metal in a plastic mould... Don't have liquid metal at home? Me neither. My hand spinner is made completely out of paper, and there's no need to cut, to glue or to make holes in the paper. It is a pure origami spinner.

Important note: this origami Finger Fidget Spinner is an original origami model designed by Stéphane Gigandet protected by copyright laws. Do not publish videos, tutorials, diagrams, instructions etc. that show how to fold this fidget spinner, and instead link to this video or embed it. You can of course show the finished finger fidget spinner in your videos, social media etc. Just not how to fold it. Thank you!
