How to make something spin in a book?
There is this design where you can have a circle, or something, in a book and you have it attached to a little tab on the side of the book. Then, when you pull the tab, the wheel spins (I want to do this with a color wheel for art class). I’ve seen it done before but I can’t find anything on the web on how to do it. Can any of you guys tell me how to do it or give me a website with nice instructions (preferably with pictures for help)? Thanks!
Ok the only way I can explain this is in words.
-Finish your colour wheel, colours and all, make sure all the colours have an exactly even cut of the wheel, on a piece of card (Don’t use paper it’s too soft).
-Double up two pages, or pieces of card (obviously if you use card make them the same size as your book).
-Make sure that your wheel is popping slightly over one of the outer borders of your page, and place it where it’s appropriate so you can write around it (I recommend near the top right). Then mark where the centre of the wheel is on the page. You will use this over-hang to turn the wheel.
-With a scalpel, cut a smaller version of one section of the colour wheel into the page, as long as when the wheel is over the centre mark you made, it covers the hole shape (this means you wont cut to big a whole, make sure you double check).
-Now simply put a hole in the centre of the wheel, place it between the two pages, insert a butterfly tak through the first page, then through the wheel, then out trough the second page, then glue or tape the edges closed (obviously leave a gap for the wheel’s over-hang).
If done correctly, wherever you made the hole on the page should have the colour visible in it, and with the over-hanging part of the wheel you can switch to a different visible colour.
I hope that helps, I looked on the net for a better guide but I couldn’t find anything… If that didn’t help all I can say is use your imagination and good luck =]
