Instructions

  • I simply used a few nested bowls from my kitchen and used them to draw a wreath approximately 2.5 inches thick. Cut out using an craft knife or scissors.

  • Each of the pinwheels is made from two strips of the same paper cut at similar widths and lengths. We found it easiest if the strips were between an inch and two inches thick and left them at the 12 inches long.
    Paper Strips
  • Once you have the paper strips, along the short end of the strip, you fold the paper (approximately a centimeter thick)back and forth creating an accordion looking piece of paper. You do that for both strips. Each strip can molded into a half moon/half pinwheel shape (why you need two pieces for a full pinwheel)

  • On the back side of the paper (white side if you're paper has the design on front side), staple the ends of the two accordion strips together. Then fold into a full pinwheel and staple the other ends together. Make sure the staples are on the backside, so you don't see them.

  • Then its a matter of placing and gluing the different colors and size pinwheels around your foam board wreath. With the left over scraps of papers either using a circle paper cutter or just free hand cutting, cut out 1 inch circles and glue those to the middle of the pinwheels. We also used a left over scrap piece of paper for the "SPRING" banner portion of the wreath.
