Pinwheels

 For my brothers upcoming wedding we have been plenty busy with arts and crafts. And I (being the artsy one in the family) have been helping to make all sorts of fun projects. Number one on the list... Pinwheels! I am obsessed! They are fun, colorful and easy to make. You can use them for all sorts of things, we are going to use them to line the walk-way where the guests make their way to the reception. But we had an idea to fill a vase with them, instead of flowers, or somehow make them to go in your hair!  If you are feeling creative, or a little bored all you will need is...
1. Paper (We used scrap-booking paper.)
2. Scissors
3. A push-pin
4. A wooden dowel
5. Creativity and a little arm strength



Fold into halves diagonal.

Cut about 2/3 of the way down along each of the creases

take every other point and poke it onto the pin

once you have all of the points attached stick the push pin through the back of the paper at the center.

then, use that arm strength, and push the final product onto a dowel

finished!
Just one of the many colorful projects we finished!
