A Ferris wheel where every gondola becomes a frame for your photos.

A Ferris wheel with a twist: each of its gondolas is a tiny photo frame. You build it, slip your memories inside, then turn the wheel to watch them go by. A personal gift you build before you give it.

A wooden model kit that shows off your memories

You build the base and its fence, then the wheel and its frame gondolas, following the illustrated instructions. Once the wheel is finished, trim your photos to the size of the frames and slide them in: every turn of the wheel brings a new memory around.

Who is it for? For a truly personal gift: a birthday, Mother's Day or Father's Day, a vacation keepsake. For a desk or a bedroom.

Your questions about the Photo Holder Ferris Wheel

Your questions about this kit

What size photos?
Build the wheel first, then trim your photos to the exact size of the frames: it's the easiest and neatest way.

Does the wheel turn?
Yes, by hand. This model has no motor and no music.

Do I need glue?
Regular wood glue (not included) is all you need: one drop keeps the smallest parts, like the gondolas, firmly in place.

More questions? You'll find all our answers in the Nooko FAQ.

How to build the model kit "The Photo Holder Ferris Wheel"

No need to have built a model before: the pieces are laser-cut, the illustrated instructions show every step, and your phone can stay on the table.

  1. Pop out the pieces

    The pieces pop out of the wooden sheets by hand, in the order of the instructions. Nothing to cut, nothing to paint.

  2. Fit together, step by step

    Every step is illustrated. In one sitting or in twenty-minute sessions, at your own pace.

  3. Bring it to life

    Depending on the model: a mechanism to wind up, LEDs to connect, or simply a piece to display on your shelf.

Fine tweezers help with the smallest pieces; the recommended tools are listed on the product page.
