Spinning-window message card / LETTER

A good fit for your idea?

Choose the exact edition first. Its preview, pieces, paper size and instructions belong together; no physical fit or assembly approval is implied.

Write inside the visible ring

The rear wheel is divided into six sectors and the mask reveals a smaller angular window. Keep short messages inside the printed ring rather than near the center pivot.

Tightening a fastener can prevent rotation, while making an oversized hole can introduce unwanted movement. Compare the chosen fastener with the printed hole before assembling.

From file to finished page

  1. Choose the paper size loaded in your printer and open the matching PDF.
  2. Print the matching paper edition at actual size (100%). Measure the printed 50 mm line before cutting. The screen preview is not a measurement test.
  3. Cut the two circles, retaining their center marks. Remove only the annular-sector window from the front mask.
  4. Write one short item in each of the six numbered sectors on the rear disk. Keep text inside the visible ring between the printed guide circles.
  5. Make the two center holes using a suitable supervised tool. Join the disks with a small paper fastener, leaving enough clearance for rotation.
  6. Keep the mask in front and rotate the larger rear rim. Align each sector with the window before reading it.
  7. Keep loose fasteners away from young children. This is a manually rotated paper display, not a clock or calibrated selection device.
Printing and use notes

The dimensions describe the flat pattern and fold lines, not guaranteed internal capacity.

Physical printing, fit and assembly have not been tested. Make a scrap-paper trial before using special stock.

This is a decorative or organizational paper project, not protective shipping packaging, food-contact material or a load-rated container.
