Pinwheel, pinwheel, spinning around.

Well...these decorative pinwheels don't actually spin...but they look so so cute and are easy to make!

• Cut a squares out of double sided patriotic paper.  (We didn't have any but gluing the pieces of paper back to back worked just as well.)  We cut 5x5 and 6x6 squares.
• Fold your square corner to corner then unfold.
• On each fold create a pencil mark about 1/3 of the way from the center.
• Cut along the folded lines, stopping at the pencil mark.  Don't cut all the way into the center.
• Bring together every other point into the center and hot glue.

• Make a center piece for your pinwheel.  We used stuff laying around the apartment...burlap, buttons, paper, even some pennies!
• Hot glue your pinwheel onto a stick.  You could use anything...a pencil, chopsticks, a dowel, an actual stick, we used straws!

Happy 4th!
