1. A method for assembling a functional whirligig from an ornamental geometric shape, the geometric shape including a body with a central opening and at least one stem opening extending through the body orthogonally through the central opening and breaking out at opposing sides of the whirligig body, and an elongated stem having a whirligig point and a stop flange at a first end, and an attachment feature to a suspension mechanism at a second end including the steps of:
(a) removing the geometric shape from the suspension mechanism;
(b) removing the suspended body from the stem;
(c) inserting the stem through the central opening of the body aligning the geometric shape of the central opening and stem and sliding the body down to the stop flange on the stem, thereby assembling a whirligig; and
(d) placing the whirligig point on a surface plane and orienting the whirligig in a vertical upright position enabling a user to spin the whirligig.
