Spinner

[Glycerine]

Anyone have a favorite spinner? I'd like to add 1 or a few next year. Currently eyeing this one: https://boscoyostudio.com/product/ppd-geowreath

I wouldn't mind a few snowflakes as well. I have seen some backlit ones that look really nice... any suggestions on flakes as well?

Thanks!

Have you checked out the StarFlake Spinner in the Wiki? There was also a "Build Party" at the 2020 Virtual Christmas Summit

This is one of my favorite props. In addition to the basic Spinner, Snowflakes, and Stars, I found I could add a submodel to create Holly and Mistletoe.

Thanks. That one looks familiar, I'll check it out.

Here are a couple of videos that show off the prop

Don't have a particular "favorite", but I can tell you two different props that get used a lot as "spinners" here. They are the Showstopper Snowflake and the Hattitude Quartet. There are many others out there, but these two have received rave reviews by not only those that seeing them but also those sequencing them.

Ok, thank you. I'll look those up as well.

I really like the showstopper, and the Hattitude Quartet looks to be very versatile!

I guess it depends what you call a spinner. But I like my simple DIY candy spinners.

Yeah, that counts, and I like the idea! thanks for sharing. I could see using two bowls, back-to-back, on top of a PVC pipe to mimic a lollipop!

That's how mine are mounted.
I was going to do back to back, but in the end i saw no benefit to doing the backside.

You can see 8 of them between the trees in front of the garage.

Oh, nice! That's a good looking setup. How tall is the mega tree?

Thanks.
The big tree is around 28'. The tower for the stars behind it is 40'
