Alternative to split pins

Hi there,

Bit of an odd question, but I am looking for something that I can use on two pieces of cardboard to allow the top one to rotate (think of the card pull string toys where the arms and feet move up and down as you pull a string).

However, I would need the top movement to be fair stable so the top piece of card stays in place when moved.

I was thinking of using a split pin, but wondered if there are an alternatives?

Any suggestions would be great!

Hopefully my explanation makes sense!

Thanks!

    Plastic bushes in the holes?  You can add a drop of glue if you want one to rotate with the bush or
    no glue and leave them to rotate freely.

    A lot of flat cardboard discs with 2 sections use a thin metal ferrule, that maybe an option also?
