Personal Experience
I made my first fidget spinner a few months ago and it was a lot of fun. I used some spare bearings I had lying around and some cardboard from an old cereal box. It took me a few tries to get everything aligned properly, but once it was done, it worked great. I’ve since made a few more and even gave some as gifts to friends and family.
