MAKE IT: Valentine’s Pinwheels

Step 1: We used spray mount adhesive to make double sided paper (using Jillson & Roberts Lovely Lovely R454 paired with Magenta 910, Rose Bud R143 paired with Gold 915, and Delicate Peacock R240 paired with Glitter Dot Pink R472). We then cut the paper into pinwheel shapes using this Printable Template. If you don’t want to use a template you can always just cut a square and then cut at 45degree angles from each corner until about half inch from the center.

Step 2: For the multi-blade pinwheel line up all the larger corners – right at the bottom of the bumpy side. Then one by one fold the other punched hole edges in to the middle. For the one piece template simple fold the outer punched corners into the middle, matching all the punched holes up. Once they are all folded in use a brad to put through all the holes to hold them in place.

Step 3: Using a glue gun attach the correct height of stick on the back of each.

Step 4: Add any extra embellishments such as rhinestones to the front middle.

Step 5: Arrange in a pot or other container and enjoy. These also work nicely sticking out of a tote as an additional embellishment!
