DIY Rotating Carousel Box Tutorial || Make a beautiful carousel from cardboard

Learn to make a beautiful rotating carousel box using cardboard and cardstock paper. I have given free PDF files containing the shapes of creatures and the template of box used in the carousel. Download, print and cut them out. No need to draw anything yourself!

Just remember that the size of the template of box is 12 x 12 inch. The size can be reduced while printing if the paper is not big enough.

The free templates are in my password-protected, high-quality resource library, and I share the password exclusively with my email subscribers.

How to get the free templates:

1) Copy the title of the youtube video.

2) If you already have the password to my resource library, visit https://www.memokraft.com/memokraft-r... and enter the password. This will get you inside the library.
I mention the password at the bottom of all my emails. If you don't get my emails yet, visit https://www.memokraft.com/resource-li... and request the password before proceeding with the next steps.

3) Once inside the library, open the “Find” box by pressing Ctrl + F (on Windows) or Command + F (on Mac). If you are on mobile or tablet, the browser will have an option called “Find in page” or something similar. Just tap that.

4) Paste the title from step 1 into this box. This should bring up the templates you need. I have put the thumbnails from youtube videos alongside all the templates to make them easier to recognize.

5) Click the button corresponding to the desired template. A google drive page would open.

6) There would be a download button at the top of the page. Click it to download the file.

(Please note that if, for some reason, you are not able to download the files, open the free resource library in incognito mode of Google Chrome or the corresponding mode of any other browser you use.)


Rotating the handle at the base causes the carousel at the top to spin. Watch the video to see the mechanism in action, and learn to make it yourself in a few easy steps.

All the necessary measurements are given in the video itself.
