Spring is in the air so break out the pinwheels! Becky shares this simple yet fun tutorial on how to make and use pinwheels in your paper crafting.
Enjoy!
Quick and Easy Pinwheel Flowers by Becky Williams
Supplies:
Jillibean Soup
Patterned Paper: Old World Cabbage Stew/Caraway Seeds, Brown Rice
Minestrone/Thin Zuchini
Soup Staples/White Stock, Black Macaroni,Yellow Sugar, Pink Sugar, Red Sugar, Chicken Noodle/Chopped Lemon Grass
Coordinating Cardstock Stickers: Old World Cabbage Stew, New England Chowder
Corrugated Alphas: white
Core Impressions Cardstock by Core'dinations
Other: corner rounder punch, staples, sanding block, twine, ink, small hole punch, brads, adhesive, paper trimmer, ruler.
1. Cut square of patterned paper- any size depending on the size you'd like your pinwheel to be. For my layout I have: yellow= 4 inch square, pink=2 1/2 inch square, red= 3 inch square.
2. Fold paper diagonally both ways or draw a line diagonally across the paper each way. Cut on lines until about 1/4 inch from center.
3. Put a dot on one corner of each side as shown, punch hole in this spot and poke a hole in center of pinwheel using a paper piercer or pin.
4. Using a brad take all points of pinwheel to the center and fasten off brad.
5. Top with buttons, canvas flowers, etc. and use to embellish a card or scrapbook page.
and again here's the beautiful set of pinwheels we posted the other day created by Becky.
Thank you Becky!
Have a great one!
