Pinwheel Fun in My Scrapbook Layout

We recently went to my works Summer picnic. I did the decorations for the picnic and created some pinwheels for the candy bar. I also included one in my scrapbook layout to remember the awesome clown that did the kids face painting!  Nothing says fun summer to me than a pinwheel.  I started by cutting a square (any size will do--it just needs to be equal on all 4 sides) For the sign I did 4X4in and for my layout I did 1X1in. Then I cut along each corner going towards the middle halfway or 3/4 of the way to the middle. Using a hole punch I punched a hole into every other corner. I brought each corner into the middle one at a time (lining up the holes in the center) and secured it with a brad. Here is the template for the pinwheel in case you need a visual like I do...

I've also made them to go on notebooks, paper pads and for party center pieces. They are really fun when you have double sided paper..happy creating,
