Pinwheel |
|
You Will
Need
- 2 8" X 8" pieces of card stock

- Red and blue markers
- A straightedge
- Scissors

| Steps |
 Step
1: Draw stars
Draw the outlines of stars on one side of one sheet of the card stock and color around them with the blue marker.
|
 |
You can glue silver glitter inside the stars
for added pizzazz. |
 Step
2: Outline stripes
Use your straightedge and the red marker to draw and color thick red stripes on one side of the other piece of card stock.
 3:
Make cuts
Square the blank sides of the cards together. Then make four cuts, one from each of the four corners, extending halfway to the center.
 4:
Punch holes
Punch a hole in each corner just to the left of each cut, about a half inch from the edges.
 Step
5: Gather
Fold each punched corner carefully toward the center, making sure not to crease the paper.
 Step
6: Fasten
Poke a pushpin through the four punched holes and into the pencil eraser. Blow on your pinwheel and watch the swirl of patriotic pride.
