Pinwheel Garden

We had some pretty wicked storms yesterday afternoon and Megan was pretty scared. Now she doesn't want to go outside at all. Poor thing, I thought that if we did a little craft together that was to play with outdoors that it just might help her a bit. So, now that she is out of her bath, my bathroom floor is soaked, and she is wearing Emily's dress. We will eat some breakfast and start working on our Pinwheel garden. This is going to be so much fun!

Materials:
Paper (cardstock preferred)
Scissors
Tape
Straight Pin
Pencil with eraser

1. Print template out on desired paper, thicker paper works better. You may simply copy the template instead of printing it.
2. Cut on solid lines.
3. The circles represent the points that are to be folded (no creasing). Fold over each circle onto the center circle one at a time and tape it. Once you have done this 4 times, you will have a pinwheel shaped paper.
4. Pierce a sewing straight pin through the middle taking care to go through all 4 layers. Continue pushing the pin into a pencil eraser or another soft object such as a taper candle.


It helped me get her outside for a few minutes! Pin It Now!
