First step is to cut your paper into squares.

There are a few ways to do this. If you have a ruler and want to measure out four 4 inch by 4 inch squares you can do it that way.

If you don't have a ruler , here is an easy way to measure out four even squares from a 8.5x11 piece of paper. Fold the short end corner over to line up with the side of the paper. Then cut the extra paper off the end. From there fold the square in half and cut. Then fold each of the halves in half again and cut. Viola, you have yourself four square pieces of paper.

Once you have your roughly 4 inch by 4 inch piece of paper (however you get to it). Fold the piece of paper diagonally lining up corner to corner, and then unfold.

Fold the other two corners together and then unfold.

Draw a circle approximately an inch in diameter around the center.

Using the scissors, cut along the folded lines of the paper down to the circle.

Draw a simply free-hand, and cut out a circle approximately 1 inch in diameter.

This will be the center of your pinwheel, so pick a colored paper to coordinate.

Either using the scissors, or the fastener itself, make a hole through the center of the paper.

Then using the same method, make a hole through the straw, approximately an inch from one end.

In the case you have two sided paper, make sure you are drawing the back side.

Glue the tip of the paper to the center using glue folding it forward on the front side of the pinwheel.

Now using the glue attach the 1 inch circle you cut for the center of the pinwheel over the edges you just glued down.

Make a hole through the center and attach the fastener through the pinwheel and straw and expand on the back.

Viola, you have yourself a pinwheel!
