Paper pinwheel—instructions:
1. For this DIY paper pinwheel craft, fold the square paper in half from corner to corner to form a triangle. Unfold and repeat in the opposite direction.
2. With scissors, cut along the fold lines from each corner toward the center, stopping about a centimeter before the middle. Fold every other tip in toward the center. Add a dab of glue to the tip and press it down. Glue all the remaining tips in the same way.
3. Glue a skewer to the back of the paper pinwheel.
Tip!
For two-sided patterned paper, simply start by gluing two sheets together.
