Setup

1. Preparing the Work Surface

The durable carrying case features a built-in work surface. Open the case flat to utilize this surface. Place a sheet of design paper onto the work surface. Use a small piece of the reusable Spirograph Putty to secure the paper and any chosen rings or racks firmly in place, preventing movement during drawing.

2. Selecting Your Components

Choose a Spirograph ring or rack to serve as your outer guide. Then, select a smaller Spirograph wheel. The combination of different rings, racks, and wheels, along with various pen holes, allows for countless unique designs.

Operating Instructions

Creating Designs

Place the chosen wheel inside the ring or against the rack. Insert the tip of one of the fine-line design pens into any of the small holes on the wheel. While holding the outer ring/rack steady with one hand, gently rotate the wheel with the pen, allowing the gears to guide your drawing. Maintain consistent pressure and ensure the pen tip stays within the hole and the wheel's gears remain engaged with the outer guide.
