Take a soda can, remove the top and the bottom, if you dont have dremel , or fancy powered tools, use Rough Sand paper or even the floor .
When the top and the bottom were removed, fill the can with Paper.
Then Sand sand it, paint it , google some image or draw whatever you want., stick the image and start to hole all over the picture you want (I used an Office pin.).Remove the picture or draw and with a sharpie draw the image.and add some details.

Motion.

Draw the Top circle in a piece of thin cardboard  like cigarretes box.
Find the center and divide the circle in eight parts.
Cut the flaps with a cutter, and fold down  in 45,00072 degrees.
make a hole in the center and glue a Glass Vial.
Finally , glue the circle on the Soda can.

Axis.

The Glass Vial has to spin on the central axis.
We need a piece of wire, a tiny piece of plastic Tube like an empty pen tube, a lighter part (valve), a sharped Needle.
Join together those parts.
and place a light Bulb.

Light Up.

Be careful that the can dont touch any surface of the base. or the central axis.
