Dowel rod (we drilled a hole in ours)

Drill

1/8" drill bit

Hot glue gun & glue (optional)

 

 

1. start with a square

2. fold in half diagonally

3. then fold diagonally again (to make an X)

4. unfold

5.Poke a hole in the center (just big enough for the brad to go through)

6. cut just over half way up each fold

7. punch a hold on right side of each cut

8.gather four holes together and place a brad through all four

9. push brad through hole in center of square

To attach the dowel to back of pinwheel drill a hole into the top of the dowel (about 1/2" down) and put the brad through and fasten brad to reverse side

 

You can use two sheets of paper, back to back for double printed pinwheels.
