Product Wednesday April Showers

Quick Make and Take Pin Wheels: This is a very simple CUTE project!! Have all the stuff pre-cut and your customers will whip these out. You can make various sizes and create a pin wheel bouquet. J
Begin with a square of paper 6x6 (or any size that you choose).

    Fold your square, corner to corner, and then unfold.


Make a pencil mark about 1/3 of the way from center

  Cut along fold lines. Stop at your pencil mark.

 Using a piercing tool punch a hole in the corners.


    Bring every other point into the center and stick a pin through all four points. 

The head of the pin forms the hub of the pinwheel.

 
   Cut two inch wide piece of cardstock any color. Wrap it around the pencil. I used Mono Adhesive to adhere it to the pencil.





 
   Use a pencil as the stick pushing the stick pin in the eraser. I also used glue dots to hold the corners down in the center.

I also added a rhinestone in the middle for extra blinability!
Supplies:
Mono Adhesive
Pencils
Stick pins
Any color cardstock that coordinates
Paper used: the new Three Bugs in a rug April showers
