Paper Carousel paper construction project / LETTER
A good fit for your idea?
Letter and A4 preserve the component dimensions. Choose the sheet you will print, not a different object size.
Materials and construction
Plain 100 to 140 gsm paper for a first dimensional trial; approximately 160 to 220 gsm card only after confirming the folds. Use a ruler, suitable scissors, a blunt scoring tool and a small amount of paper adhesive. An adult should handle internal cuts, holes and small fasteners. Supply separate thread for suspension.
Before making a batch
Measure the 50 mm reference and two named component dimensions.
Make a complete empty trial and document fold direction, joining order, collision, stability and any fragile features.
Repeat the trial using your chosen paper. Check that every join holds and each moving part works freely before decorating.

About this file

- Orientation
- Portrait
Two 120 mm support discs and four 60 mm decorative elements. Carousel column: 21 mm square, 110 mm high.
From file to finished page
- Cut and reinforce the support discs before making the attachment holes.
- For the carousel, fold and close the square column and fix one disc as a base; dry-fit the upper disc centered above it.
- Choose and reinforce attachment points on the four figures; suspend with equal-length threads. Keep them clear of the column and base. For the mobile, balance a single upper disc instead.
- Test by gentle hand movement. Do not use a motor, hang above a cot, or infer a safe load from the drawn holes.
- Support the model close to a table and turn it gently. Check balance and every attachment before displaying it.
Printing and use notes
Drawing dimensions describe flat paper surfaces, not verified internal capacity, load strength, fit or material compatibility.
No mailing, food-contact, archival, toy-safety, protective-wear or cutting-machine certification is supplied.
Make a plain-paper trial first; paper thickness and fold accuracy can change the fit.
SVG downloads contain a fixed image of each PDF page. Text and shapes in the SVG are not separately editable; use the PDF for searchable text. These files are not certified cutting-machine exports.
