Materials:
- Straw Wreath Form
- Wide ribbon
- Scrapbook paper of your choice
- Paper cutter or scissors
- Wooden circles for the centers of the pinwheels
- Washi tape for the circles
- Contrasting ribbon for bow
- Hot Glue/Glue Sticks
Instructions:
- Start by wrapping your wreath form with the ribbon of your choice.
- To make the pinwheels, cut two pieces of paper the same length and width. I used the length of the paper and the width varied from 1-1 ½ inches each. Remember that one piece of the paper will just be one half of the pinwheel, so if you go wide the pinwheel will be huge.
- Lay your strips on top of each other and accordion fold them back and forth evenly.
- Lay one end on top of the other and hot glue it down.
- Glue both ends of the paper together to create a circle.
- Then push it all together and down to form your pinwheel.
- Add a large amount of glue to the center and allow to seep into the pinwheel a bit, then hold together for a minute or two by hand until the glue hardens. Flip it over and you have your pinwheel!
- I added wooden dots with Washi tape covering them to the center of my wheels by gluing them down the same way on the front.
- Attach the pinwheels to the wreath with hot glue.
