Wall Art Project: Pinwheels
What You Need: • • • • • •
14 sheets of 12x12-inch paper Crafts glue Clothespins Scissors/crafts knife Cutting mat Ribbon to hang or adhesive
Instructions: 1. Check out your local crafts store for scrapbook paper varieties. (We like double-sided papers.) Choose three different patterns within a similar color palette. Two identical scrapbook papers make one art "wheel." 2. On a cutting mat, lay out your papers, cutting off the brand end tag with a scissors or crafts knife using a ruler edge to guide you. Make your first 1-inch-wide fold on a sheet. (It doesn't matter on which side you start because the paper should be square.) Fold the paper back and forth, accordion-style. Editor Tip: Add interest to your display by mixing smaller pinwheels with the larger ones. For tiny wheels, cut your accordion-folded strips in half or smaller. 3. Fold the finished accordion strip in half and glue two sides together. Compress under a pile of old books for about 20 minutes. 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 on the same patterned scrapbook paper. Once the glue has dried, pull apart the accordion to make two fans. Glue the two fans together, securing for an hour with clothespins. Courtesy of Better Homes and Gardens.com
