Pinwheels


When I saw this paper I knew just how I was going to use it -- pinwheels. This double-sided paper is perfect because it has two distinctive patterns and has a nice weight so it's not too flimsy. It would be a nice centerpiece for a summer picnic or child's party.

I found a pattern here and printed it out the size I wanted. After cutting out my pieces I used a crop-a-dile to make the holes in each arm, as well as a hole in a straw. The pinwheel is held together by a brad. Although it won't easily turn, it sure is pretty!

I found this pail in the Target dollar aisle. The pinwheels are held in place by a bit of floral foam. I used some of the glitter paper to cover up the floral foam.
