HOW TO ENTERTAIN YOUR FRIENDS

I already showed you how to use spirograph, but this time I decided to crank it up a notch!

My nephew is crazy about spirograph art (a.k.a. those teeny tiny sets with two plastic gears, where you put a pen in the smaller one and revolve it inside the larger one to make really cool spiral pictures.) So I thought - wouldn't it be cool if we could make a HUGE one? So my nephew and I went to the craft store looking for things to make our gears from and voila! An easy hack was born!

Get a hula hoop and a few frisbees (we have loads in the house), plus a drill / bits, and a hot glue gun.

And some craft paper with as large and as strong corrugation as you can find. Cut it into strips about 1.5-2 in wide. Set it aside for later on.

Next, you'll want to drill some holes in your frisbees that will be big enough to hold a marker snugly. I started with some pilot holes, spaced out over the frisbee.

I kept enlarging the holes till they were just big enough for some thin markers we had on hand. Pro tip: if your frisbee is made of a brittle plastic, you can put a little dish soap down on the drill bit to keep the plastic from cracking. (Most frisbees won't need this though).

Now hot glue the corrugated cardboard strips to the inside of the hula hoop, and to the outside of the two frisbees and you're ready to go!

Now the fun begins! Start to draw your spiral art by putting a marker in the hole and moving the frisbee around the perimeter of the hula hoop, holding the hoop steady while your kid draws. Watch the crazy pattern... and repeat with another color, from a different hole in the frisbee. The innermost holes draw more even circles and the outer holes draw flower shapes. Have fun! ; )
