Homemade LED Fidget Spinner

Turn your trendy fidget spinner into something even more ADHD-inducing by adding LEDs.

You could buy one off Amazon, or you could make one yourself, which is always more rewarding. You can also swap out the LEDs for different-colored ones when you like!

If you already have a fidget spinner and some stray LEDs, simply purchase a four-pack of 3V coin batteries. Everything else is something a common household may already own: tape and scissors.

Start by taking the coin batteries out of their pack.

Test the LEDs to see if they light up with the batteries. When they do, tape them together. As you can see, I lined up the battery with the node to see where to align the LED and the hole.

This step's simple enough: tape the LED onto the battery, then take the circular circuit and place it atop one of the three nodes of the spinner. What I did was bend the LED to make the bulb go through the hole.

You can get a decent hoop of light from spinning with one LED. Or you can go bigger and pop LEDs into the remaining two nodes.

Three LEDs in a fidget spinner? Awesome. Look at that. Looks just like the alien spaceship from Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

And there you have it. A homemade way to zazz up the trendiest new toy for ADHD-addled millennials. Bring these to the next music festival you fly off to. If it's a spectacular disaster like Fyre Festival, you can at least occupy yourself with this neat little doohickey!
