I love the pinwheels on page 67 of the Spring-Summer Collection 2008 catalog! And they are so simple to create.
I used Stampin’ Up’s Flowers You Designer-Series paper to make these. I also used Baroque Motifs and Polka Dots and Petals stamp sets and Fire and Ice Rhinestones for the centers. The bottle is filled with isty-BEAD-sies bowl and vase fillers (from Hobby Lobby) and marbles. I used straws for the pinwheel “sticks”. Each pinwheel is made with two pieces of paper for a fuller look.
Here’s the pattern and instructions:

The basic pattern for the pinwheel piece is 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 square once cut out. For the smaller blue pinwheel, I cut the square 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 and didn’t use the pattern. Once you’ve created one, it is pretty easy to make others at various sizes.
I also used my Crop- A-Dile to punch all the holes in the paper and in the straws.
Give this fun project a try, and let me know how it goes.
