Paper pinwheel
Paper pinwheel
Supplies Needed::
For this craft you will need:
Scissors
Pencil
Craft paper or recycled paper (squares)
1 straw per pinwheel
1 pushpin per pinwheel
Glue gun
Optional: ruler
Instructions::
Using a ruler, mark the center of your square paper with a pencil. If you do not have a ruler, you can eyeball the center pretty easily. Next use your ruler to draw a diagonal line from each corner of the paper, halfway to the center dot you just made.
Use the scissors to cut down the diagonal lines you just marked on your paper.
Fold alternating points (every other point) into the center dot and put a pushpin through. This step can be tricky since the points like to escape if you are not holding them tight–so patience is key.
Hold the pushpin with gathered points in one hand tightly and use your other hand to push the remainder of the pin through a straw. Once your pushpin is through the straw, use a little bit of masking tape to make sure no little fingers get stuck by the pin.
