Mini Pinwheel Tutorial

I created these mini pinwheels for a baby shower and they turned out super cute. I used the same tutorial that I use for my big pinwheels, but smaller of course.

I had all of the supplies on had except for the pearl embellishments which I found at Michaels. They were in the sticker isle. I actually purchased all of the other supplies there too – the wooden sticks (in the popsicle stick isle) and the paper.

I tried to get the sticker pearl to hold the corners in place, but I ended up using a dab of hot glue for extra reinforcement, and I glued the stick onto the back with hot glue too.

There are just so many things you can do with these cute pinwheels that I don’t know what to make next!? I want to do a pinwheel backdrop, pinwheel straw embellishments, a pinwheel and pearl banner, and the list goes on.
