MAKING THE PINWHEEL
- Cut a square of craft paper to the desired size. It is great if the paper is
quite thick and has a different pattern on each side. Scrapbooking paper
is excellent because it is already square and comes in great patterns. - With pencil, draw two light lines between the opposite corners of the
square, using a ruler. - Make four cuts along lines, starting at each corner and stopping
three-fourths of the way to the center of the square. - 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. - Drill a small hole in the dowel and insert the screw so that the
pinwheel spins.
