Homemade ATC Carousel

I’ve been reading about the 7 Gypsies Carousel being discontinued and people all up in a flutter over it.  Checked it out to see what it was all about, it’s a cute carousel, but it was $30, so I decided to make my own as a result of dropping my Arc journal…. confused yet?  best part…did it for under $5.  Not quite finished yet, but you’ll get a really good idea on what I’m doing.

Really interesting. So creative. I could see tabs somehow dividing the atc’s by theme or date. Need to rewatch this again!
