WHAT YOU DO
1. Start out by cutting two
identical squares from paper.
2. You can leave the squares
plain or colour and draw some patterns or
designs.
3. Glue the undecorated sides of the squares
together. Remember to apply glue not
just along the edges, but on the entire
back area of the squares.
4. Draw diagonal lines on the square going
from corner to corner.
5. Cut along the 4 diagonal lines halfway to
the centre.
6. Gather the four corners towards the
centre without creasing the paper. You
may glue the ends in place or just hold
them together with your hand as you do
the next step.
7. Insert a push pin at the centre. The push
pin should hold all four ends together.
Wiggle the push pin around to make the
hole a bit larger.
8. Push the pin onto a pencil’s eraser. Don’t
push on too tight to allow the pinwheel to
spin more freely.
9. As an option, you may put a bead or small
button between the paper and the eraser.
This helps the pinwheel rotate better and
prevents the pin’s point from going
through the other side of the eraser.
10. Finally, try blowing at the edges of the
pinwheel to make it spin. Loosen the pin a
bit if the blades do not rotate well. Enjoy!
