Custom Fidget Spinners Design Tips
- Be thrifty.
- Choose a good style.
- Have fun with colors.
- Keep it simple.
Tip 1. Be Thrifty
Who wants to spend a bunch of money on a fidget spinner? You only need some loose change or maybe a $1 to get something awesome.
Try any of these custom fidget spinners for under $1!
The smaller price per item means you can get more for less. That’s good news if you have a bunch of people getting these spinners!
Tip 2. Choose a Good Style
You have a variety of fidget spinner styles to choose from. Plus, there are options with two, three, and even eight blades. Take a look below for some of your choices!
Types of Fidget Spinners
There are many different types of fidget spinners you can choose from. This includes:
Hex or Dual Bar
A hex or dual bar spinner has two rotating blades. It’s a lot trendier and easy to store in a bag or pocket.
Tri
You likely picture this style when you hear the phrase “fidget spinner.” It’s marked by three blades that whirl around as you balance it in the middle.

Quad
The more blades on your spinner, the faster and longer it will go! A quad is a great choice as it has four to eight blades that keep it moving.

Pen

Shaped Caps
You can find fidget spinners with caps shaped for any season or event. Pumpkins for Halloween, baseballs for game day, Earth for going green… you get the idea!
Cube
Go a little retro with a fidget spinner shaped like a Rubik’s Cube. These are fun novelty items for anyone who loves the 80’s.
Light Up
Get all the “ooh’s and aah’s” by customizing fidget spinners that light up. The best part is the batteries are almost always included!
Tip 3. Have Fun With Color
Now that you’ve picked a spinner, the next step is getting the right colors. Try any of these fun color combos!
Dark Spinner with Light Print
Choose a fidget spinner that has a dark color like maroon, navy, black, or violet. Print your design in a lighter color like white, light blue, light pink, or lavender.
Light Spinner with Dark Print
Try the reverse of the first option and pick a lighter color spinner, like a neon green or yellow. Go with a dark color for the design you print on the front.
Mix-and-Match Cap or Ring Colors
Your fidget spinner can be simple, but you can mix-and-match the caps or rings that are fitted on the blades. This is a great way to add two colors in one, especially if you have school colors or a business logo.
Full Color Print
Full color printing is the most cost-effective option if you have a lot of colors in your design. You can print every color in the rainbow without paying a penny for extra inks.
Tip 4. Keep It Simple
A fidget spinner isn’t very big, which means you don’t have a ton of space for your design. The good news is you don’t really have to print very much to get the point across!
Choose 1 to 2 of the following to include in your design:
- Name
- Logo
- Date
- Phone Number
- Website
- 3 to 4 Word Slogan
- Small Clipart Image
Keep in mind that most fidget spinners are customized with screen printing. That means you can only print in one color without having to pay extra.
If you want more than one color in your design, go with a full color option!
Real Life Examples
The fidget spinner is still a thing and a fun item to receive as a gift. However, it becomes a little more special if you add a custom design.
