Today I wanted to share a simple pinwheel card. I was inspired by an invitation that was given to me a while back. On the invitation there was a little, digital pinwheel. It looked like it was made from piecing little triangles into a shape of a flower. I thought this was perfect for little scraps.
To make the pinwheel:
- Cut paper into squares (you can choose how big or small you want the pinwheel...the bigger the squares the bigger the pinwheel).
- Then cut the squares diagonally to create triangles. I chose to use two coordinating papers. I used one as a shadow to the main image.
- Glue the triangles together with the points together on the bottom and the background paper showing a little on the top.
- Then adhere the triangle in a circle. Make sure they are all facing the same direction.
- Add a button or brad in the middle.
- I also added a green ribbon stem along with ribbon leaves and a button in the middle. So mine looks more like a flower.
Feel free to use your imagination. That's what makes this little technique so fun!!
