Pinwheels

Summer may have gone but pinwheels can still look great in the house and there especially easy to make!

Firstly take a square of paper  i used 8 x 8 but this is quite large, 6 x 6 is a good size
In pencil draw 4 lines from the corners half way to the centre of the paper

Neatly cut along these lines being careful not to cut too far, then begin folding one peice across to the centre on the same side each time



Then very carefully peirce a pin through each peice as close to the centre as you can and then through the centre of the paper

You could hammer this to some wooden dowelling or place something like a small polystyrene ball behind it to keep the pin secure.
For a even nicer effect use double sided paper or glue 2 sheets together!
Heres a few i made today...
