You Will Need
-
Step 1Start out with squares of paper, cut to about 6x6". I recommend using double sided scrapbook paper, though, of course, any paper will work.
-
Step 2Fold your paper in half once to make a triangle.
-
Step 3Fold this triangle in half to make a smaller one.
-
Step 4Open the square back up, and cut about 3/4 of the way up each crease, toward the center.
-
Step 5Fold one corner from each of the four resulting triangles up to the center of the square. (Ignore the tack in the middle, as it is only there at this step in order to take the picture.)
-
Step 6Overlap the four corners and pierce them all with a pushpin. Finish up by pushing the pin into a wooden dowel.
-
Step 7Bonus: Follow the above directions, but glue the corners together instead of using a pushpin. Glue a button in the center and then glue your pinwheel to a mini-popsicle stick. These make amazingly cute cupcake toppers!
