perfect pinwheel garland! (a tutorial)

let's make something super cute and EASY!

all you need:
scissors
paper cutter
pencil
brads
tiny hole punch or "super sharp tool that pokes holes in stuff"(you know?)
yarn, twine or ribbon
tiny clothes pins

1. cut any double sided paper (used book pages) to 4 1/2 inch squares.

2. with a pencil(i used sharpie on this one, for pictures), make your square look like this.

3. poke holes where the dots are.

4. cut on the lines until your scissors are about half an inch away from the middle hole.

5. stick the brad through each corner hole and then finally through the middle, and secure it.

6. now cut your yarn and clothes pin those little guys on there.

so easy huh?

some notes:

• with thin book pages i did the pinwheel process with 3-7 pages at a time (just stacked them up)
• this would be great to do with any leftover supplies from your adorable window valentines, but if it was double sided card stock, you'd have to do one at a time.
• i suggest you hang the yarn where you want it and then clip those little pinwheels on after...

Now,  take your daughter outside and take ridiculously adorable photos of her, holding the pinwheels....you know you want to....or just bring her over here and let me do it since i probably want to  more than you do....

enjoy!
