How to Make a Pinwheel – Template and Tutorial

Instead of buying a ready made plastic pinwheel, why not make your own with pretty paper that compliments your party or decor!   I love to see these old fashioned toys in summer decor!  I recently made some for my granddaughter’s nursery for the summer months!  Today’s post will show you how to make a pinwheel and includes a template that you can print at home.

I first shared this post in 2013 and I used a vintage music printable for the paper.  I’ve used these pinwheels in my summer decor over the years and think they bring a charming touch to any vignette!

I’m sharing this pinwheel tutorial for today’s Home and Decor Encore.  These Friday posts are a way for my friends and I to share posts from our archives that deserve a second look!  Many of our readers have never seen these older posts, so it’s fun to show them off each week! 

 

 

This week there are lots of great ideas from my friends.  Cristina from RemodelaCasa has another amazing DIY build project!  She will show you how to make a built in desk!   Christy from Our Southern Home shows how she took an old tabletop and made it into a menu board for her home!  And, Marty from A Stroll Thru Life is showing how she brought her old wicker chairs back to life!
