I’m alliterative among other things! These pinwheels aren’t a new idea but I’ve actually never made any! You can free fold the paper accordion style or you can score it like I did using my
Martha Stewart score and fold board. I love this thing! I use it for all my cards and anything I have to fold or score.
I thought it would be fun to use two papers together, So I cut 12x12 papers to 6x12, then scored and folded them at the one inch mark and joined the two different halves together.
Once you’ve completed your accordion folding fold your folded piece in half and staple in the middle. STAPLE. You need to STAPLE. After you STAPLE stick the the two sides of each half together with your adhesive of choice ( I used my ATG gun) and then you’ll stick the two halves together:
You could be done here. But that’s no fun now is it? So…I used some scrap paper and cut circles using a decorative edge scissor to make a layered flower center middle thingy and used leftover stickers from my
medallion banner project to finish the centers. I just scatted these along my mantel for a little extra dose of Fourth of July flavor:
Candlesticks aren’t just for candles!
Or they can stand up by themselves!
