How to Make Paper Pinwheels Classic paper pinwheels are always a
win at celebrations of any kind: they make cheery decorations,
kids love to play with them, and they're great party favors when
the party is over. It's easy to make colorful pinwheels yourself
that coordinate with the rest of your party decor. Making the
Pinwheels 1. Cut paper into 5 1/4" squares. Fold each square in
half diagonally, then fold the resulting triangle in half
laterally. Unfold; you'll now have four triangles marked by the
creases in the paper. Use your hold punch to pierce a hole in
one outer corner of each triangle (choose the same corner for
each). 2. Using the fold lines as a guide, cut toward the center
of the square from each of the four corners, stopping when you
are 1/2" from the center of the square. Punch a 1/8" hold in the
center of the square. 3. Bring the four hole-punched corners
together at the center of the square; match them up over the
hole at the center, and press a tack or pin through them and
into a pencil eras
