Be You, Be Original.
The following instructions on how to make your own pinwheels was found on Better Homes and Gardens website. Just grab your gals and some pretty papers that match your theme/colors, some scissors and a few pitchers of sangria and you've got yourself a fun crafty afternoon. Totally easy and oh so cute too!
What You Need::
- Paper, fabric, or foam material
- Scissors
- Pencil
- Straightedge or ruler
- Straight pins with plastic heads or aluminum screw posts (like those used in scrapbooks and photo albums)
Instructions::
- Cut a square of material to desired size.
- With pencil, draw two light lines between the opposite corners of the square, using a ruler or straightedge.
- Make four cuts along lines, starting at each corner and stopping three-fourths of the way to the center of the square, as shown in the pinwheel diagram.
- Poke a hole through every other corner and through the center of the pinwheel. Be careful not to poke too close to the edge, or the hole may rip when the pinwheel is assembled.
- Fold the pricked corners into the center. If using a pin, push the pin through the pricked points, then through the center hole. If using a screw post, push the screw post through the underside of the square and then through the pricked points. Secure with screw.
