Supplies used:. Glue, or double sided adhesive, Brad, Markers
- Using the largest circle Framelits, die-cut 1 piece from black cardstock. Using the second to the largest circle Framelits, die-cut 1 from very light blue cardstock. Using the smallest circle Framelits, die-cut 1 each from red, light purple, light yellow, light blue and pink.
- Using markers, create the emotions on each color. Red (angry), Purple (surprised), Yellow (happy), Pink (loved), Blue (sad).
- Using scissors or a paper trimmer, divide the largest light blue die-cut circle into 5 wedges. Adhere wedges evenly spaced onto the black die-cut circle.
- Adhere each emotion circle onto the outside edge of each “wedge”. Below each circle expression, write the corresponding emotion.
- To create the spinner, trim a narrow strip of green cardstock, creating a pointy “arrow” tip on one end and 2 points on the other end.
- Poke a small hole at the center of the embellished circle, and a small hole at the center of the spinner. Add the brad, pushing it through both the spinner and the circle, keeping it loose enough to help it spin.
