Spin Sketch Workshop
Turn a little line drawing into a mystery stencil. Cut the wheel, spin it, and trace a picture one piece at a time.
Your drawing
Draw with your finger or mouse. Each time you lift it, a new stroke starts.
Make your wheel
Cutting and assembly
Print at 100% on Letter or A4. Page 1 is the wheel and page 2 is the drawing base. Check the 50 mm scale bar.
Use cardstock for the wheel. An adult can cut the outside edge, center hole and shaded slots. For a laser, import the SVG at 135 mm wide. Engrave the blue number shapes first, then cut the red contours. For a cutter without engraving, skip blue and copy the numbers from the guide. For 3D printing, import the STL in millimeters and lay the flat face on the bed. The numbers stand 0.4 mm above the top.
Pin the wheel loosely at the base center with a paper fastener. For each step, turn its rim number to the top arrow, then trace the slot with the matching number. Lift the wheel after the final step.
