    Materials

    Instructions

    1. Firstly, cut your scrapbook paper into equal squares of about 6 inches. If you can't find double sided paper you can glue two pieces of scrapbook paper together to get the same effect.
    2. Using a ruler and pencil, draw two diagonal lines onto the square of scrapbook paper. Punch a hole in the middle of the square and one in each corner using the hole punch.
    3. Cut down all 4 lines starting from the outside corners. Be careful to stop cutting about 1/2 an inch from the middle.
    4. Fold each tab into the centre so all the holes align. Punch a brad through all the holes and secure. You can use a little glue in the middle to make sure the pinwheel is extra durable.
    5. Attach your thread to the back of the pinwheel, either with glue or by tying it to the brad. Next attach thread to the embroidery hoop. The length of the thread will depend on the height of your ceiling.
