These are the easiest paper pinwheels you'll ever make. When you get done, you won't be able to stop grinning at your creation. They are just too cute!
Start with a paper square. I cut one that is 5 1/2" square with a different pattern on each side for added cuteness. Then cut diagonally up each corner 3 1/4" and flip up every other cut corner.
Take a push-pin or tack and poke into each of your flipped-up corners.
Now that your push-pin is through each of your corners, poke it right through into the center of the back.
Turn your pinwheel over and get your pencil ready.
Insert your push-pin point into your pencil eraser.
Now look at the darling little pinwheel you just made. To me, they're just like the Lay's potato chips motto, "You can't eat just one," except that it's "You can't make just one." Trust me, you're going to make a whole bouquet of them. Now take a Coke break and maybe have some chips with it today:)

Very cute! I love your blog name! I think I'll go do just that! : )
I marked your tutorial so that I can use it later. I think those would look so cute in the spring or around the 4th of July. Thanks for the idea!

I love the designs on them.
Asking questions are actually pleasant thing if you are
not understanding anything fully, except this piece of writing gives nice understanding yet.
