I had seen fidget rings on Amazon but did not wanna pay to get one, and after making some stuff with moving parts lately I figured out how to make a fidget spinner ring! It's actually less challenging then it looks to make one like I did. The video of the butterfly "spinning" is on my Instagram or in the link below: https://www.instagram.com/p/CnUYrjIuHJs/?igshid=ZmMyNmFmZTc= Note: the video was made with one hand so it's not very good quality.
