- Find a piece of paper to use for your Pin Wheel. You can use scrapbook paper, origami paper or create your own paper using white paper and color with some fun designs
- Cut the paper into a square. 4 to 6 inches is a good size.
- Fold in half diagonally and in half again then unfold
- Cut 2/3 of the way to square's center dividing each corner into two points
- Bring every other point to the cent so points overlap. Hold in place.
- Poke a pushpin through the center and keeping points in place, remove the push pin
- Insert a map pin into the hole formed. (the pushpin hole is slightly larger, enabling the pinwheel to spin)
Thread a small bead onto pin behind the wheel and poke into the eraser end of a pencil or into a dowel.
