Lesson 21: 1 Spinning Plate and Stick

The two piece plastic sticks that come with spinning plates will work but they aren’t very good. They flex a lot and they just aren’t long enough. I suggest replacing the stick with a 1/4 inch dowel that’s about 30 inches long. Cut it to size, paint it, decorate it, and put a dull point on one end with a pencil sharpener.
