So we came up with 2 simple ways that you can make a Homemade Spin Art Machine from things around your house. #1 Lazy Susan Spin Art.

We picked up a Lazy Susan years ago at a thrift store, and it has been sitting in the basement collecting dust. So we dusted it off and turned it into a simple Spin Art Machine.
Materials:
- Lazy Susan that spin easily
- Container ~ we used a disposable clear container so the kids could see their artwork. No need for a lid.
- Squeeze bottles of watered down paint ~ we used tempera paint
- Masking Tape
- Paper ~ cut to fit inside your container
Simply tape the container to the center of the Lazy Susan. Squeeze some watered down paint into the center of the container and spin the Lazy Susan.
Tips:

- You need to be able to spin the Lazy Susan fast in order to get the paint to splatter to the edges. My kids are 7,8 and 10 and it worked well for them, but younger kids would need help spinning it.
- We also found that it worked best with 2 people. One person did the spinning and another person added the paint while it was spinning. So easy and the kids loved the results.
- When we were all done, we simply removed the container and the tape and sent it back to the basement to collect some more dust:) I love that we didn’t have to permanently alter the Lazy Susan to make our art.
#2 ~ Electric Drill Spin Art
Now this one was AMAZING! When we were testing out the Lazy Susan idea, my son asked if he could try using an electric drill. Love it, although I was not sure exactly what he was thinking. Off to the garage Kaleb and Chuck went and came back with this amazing contraption. This is my sons version of a spin art machine, with a little tweaking from my hubby:) My 10 year old boy is in love with power tools, so this was right up his alley!
Please remember to be careful when using power tools with kids! My kids are old enough to know how to use a drill, but they are dangerous and need to be handled with care! PARENTAL supervisionis required for this activity! After some reminders of safety precautions we set to work.
Materials needed:
- Electric Drill
- Clear container with a lid
- Cardboard circle cut to fit the container ~ just to stabilize the paper
- Paper ~ cut to fit the container
- Masking Tape ~ to hold the paper to the cardboard when spinning
- Long threaded bolt, 2 washers and a nut
When my hubby and Kaleb came back from the garage, this is what they brought me. Amazing! Kaleb was so proud of his invention.
To set up your own Drill Spin Art Machine, simply drill a hole in the bottom of your container large enough to fit the bolt through. Slide one of the washers onto the bolt and then fit the bolt through the container so that the treated end comes out the bottom of the container. Add another washer and then tighten with a nut. Once you have all that together simply fit the end of the bolt into the drill and tighten like you would a regular drill bit.
I used our homemade spin art machine with a group of younger kids as well and it worked great. Just remember to remind them of the safety rules when working with tools.
Tips:
- Inside the container I used a piece of cardboard cut to the size of the paper just to stabilize the bottom. You probably can skip this step, it might just depend on the type of bolt that you use.
- Put on the lid after we added the paint. It tends to splatter a bit, but that is part of the fun.
Spin Art Machine For Kids
I love how pretty the colors look when they spin together. It looks just like the spin art that we have created with our store bought machine.
I love how the colors spill up the sides of the container. Each piece of art turns out different. This was a blast and something that we will be doing again soon!

The focus for this series is all about the process, having fun and getting kids excited to create art! This week we challenged each other to put our own “spin” on creating Spin Art. Growing A Jeweled Rose got moving with her girls to make their art, and we headed to the tool shed to create a simple machine.
Make sure to stop by Growing A Jeweled Rose and check out all the amazing fun they had creating spin art through movement.
