Pinwheel crafts

I think these pinwheels would be great for many occasions.
Change the paper to match the theme.
I can see how they might be nice
 as outdoor parties, or in-door decorations, and holidays.

YOU'LL NEED

• 11" x 17" or 12" x 18" sheet construction paper or two-sided scrapbook paper or two-sided color copies of fabric

• Monofilament or ribbon
• Tape
• Small hole punch

1. For large star, measure and cut paper to 10" x 16"; for small star, cut paper to 7" x 12".
2. Lay paper on table, with a short edge near you. Starting with edge nearest you, accordion-fold paper. For large star, make each pleat 1"; for small star, make each pleat ¾".
