DIY Thaumatropes

Hey everybody, it's momo and today I'll be making a craft that makes a perfect and simple gift (DIY stocking stuffers anyone?) You probably haven't heard this name before, but you definitely have seen it! A thaumatrope is a double sided image that when spun very quickly, appears to conform into one image. This only uses three basic materials; paper, glue, and string! This is probably the easiest and most simple intstuctable I have done so far, so I hope you have fun making these

Choose a template:

~Heart template

~Firefly template

~Diamonds and cat template

You will also need:

~Scissors

~Glue stick

~String or fishing wire

Begin by selecting your preferred template. Print it and cut the circles out.

Next pokes holes into the circles. All of the templates are different so the location depends on which one you have selected.

Glue the two pieces together, making sure one is upside down. If the images are both right side up, then the two images will not line up correctly.

Loop a piece of string through each hole and tighten.

And that is IT. These crafts are so simple and adorable and they make perfect gifts for anyone that appreciates the little things in life :) I hope y'all enjoyed this tutorial and had fun checking it out!
