Front and Back
Take two notes and stick them together, so there’s a pattern on each side.
-
Crease the Note
Fold both squares diagonally in each direction, and unfold. Cut along each crease two-thirds of the way into the square’s center.
-
Pin the Leaves
Take on half of each point you just made, and bend gently to the center—you want an arc, not a sharp fold. Use the push-pin to hold the leaf points in place.
-
Stick the Landing
Now it’s time for the handle. Poke the pin into the dowel rod.
Pro tip: soak the dowel tip in water, and the pin won’t make the wood split.
And there you have it. Now find a gentle breeze, or make your own, and watch your pinwheel spin!
