Daffodil windmills
WIND POWER Why not make lots of windmills and put them in a jar for your Easter table centrepiece?
You’ll need: Green, orange and yellow card, glue stick, orange paint, paintbrush, split pins, pencil, ruler, compass, scissors
1 To make the stems, cut strips of green card and roll up into long tubes. Glue the ends in place. 2 Paint the tops of the split pins orange; leave to dry. Draw then cut out circles of orange cardboard (our small ones are 3·5cm in diameter, 5cm for large). Cut small slits from the edge to the centre all the way around, leaving 1cm in the middle uncut. Fold the flaps up to create a cup shape.
3 Cut out a square of yellow card (15cm for small flowers, 18cm for large). Draw faint diagonal lines from corner to corner in an X shape. Cut along the lines, leaving 2cm in the middle uncut, to make four petals. 4 Poke the split pin through the orange circle. Take the yellow square and fold the right-hand side of petal to the centre, poking the split pin through them one by one. Once your have pierced through all four petals, poke the split pin through the centre of the yellow square and through the top of the stem. Open the pin out at the back to secure in place.
