 You will need a big piece of paper, then draw a circle on the paper. After you finish drawing the circle cut the circle out.
When the circle is cut out draw  7 slips- then cut the slips out

Step Two

 Drawing time!!
Start with an idea that will change for 7 different images but will end with the same first image you draw. For my spinning wheel i drew a stick man dancing.\

Tip- Make sure the image stays the same size throw out the wheel.

Last and Final Step

 Find the middle of the wheel and put a small hole there.
Now its time to spin the wheel and watch your animation start to move.
