Materials

  • Colorful paper (construction or scrapbooking paper)
  • Wooden dowels (generally 3/8 inch in diameter)
  • Scissors
  • Craft glue or a glue gun
  • Decorative stickers or embellishments (optional)
  • A pencil
  • Ruler
  • Hole punch

Instructions

  • Start by cutting your colorful paper into squares. A size of 6- to 10-inches works well, allowing for variation in sizes.
  • Take each square and fold it diagonally in half to create a triangle, then unfold it to find the center point.
  • Mark your square with a pencil, drawing light lines from each corner to the center. This will help guide your cuts.
  • Make slits along the lines drawn, stopping about an inch from the center to create ‘petals’ for your pinwheel.
  • Gently pull every other corner toward the center and secure it with glue, forming the pinwheel shape.
  • Use a hole punch to create a small hole at the center of your pinwheel.
  • Insert a wooden dowel through the hole, ensuring that the pinwheel can spin freely. Secure it with glue as necessary.
  • Decorate your pinwheel with stickers or other embellishments, if desired, to make it unique.
  • Once everything is set, place your new garden stake into the soil in your garden or flower pot.
