Pinwheels are the new trend for weddings, birthdays, parties and holidays. Let me show you how to make your very own!
Materials needed:
Scrapbook paper
Scissors
Brad
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
10. fasten brad on reverse side
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.
Enjoy!
