DIY wood wind spinner

Thinking About DIY Wood Wind Spinner? Read This First.

If you’ve ever considered making a wood wind spinner yourself, you’re not alone. The idea of creating something with your own hands—especially something as captivating as a wind spinner—can be tempting. There’s something special about choosing the colors, cutting the shape, and seeing it spin for the first time.

And yes, DIY has its benefits:

The Pros of DIY Wind Spinners

  • Creative Satisfaction – Building something from scratch feels rewarding.
  • Budget-Friendly (Sometimes) – If you already have the right tools and materials, it might be more affordable.
  • Customization – Choose your own design, colors, or shape - imagination is the limit.

But before you grab the tools, there are a few important things to keep in mind. Creating a truly durable and elegant wood wind spinner is much more than a fun weekend craft. To get it right, you'll need time, equipment, know-how - and even then, results may vary.

⚠️ The Real-World Cons of DIY Wind Spinners

  • Finding the Right Wood
    Not all wood is made to last outdoors. If you choose the wrong type, your spinner may warp, crack, or split after the first rain or hot sun.
  • You Need Really Qualitative Hardware
    A spinner needs rust-free, weatherproof parts to move smoothly year after year. To get high-quality bearings or connectors you’ll need time and research.
  • Time-Consuming & Accurate
    Cutting, sanding, balancing, and assembling a wind spinner isn’t quick. It takes hours and a lot of trial and error to get the shape, symmetry, and smooth spin just right.
  • Lasur & Protection
    Ordinary wood stain won’t cut it. A high-quality outdoor-grade lasur is essential to protect your spinner from UV damage, moisture, and mold to keep it spinning.
