SUMMER PINWHEEL
WREATH
Hi
everyone! It’s Wendy here from Scrappy
Bags. Are you looking for a fun summer
wreath to welcome your guests? I’ve got
just the idea for you! This is quick and
easy and will take you no time at all.
You
will need to gather: a grapevine wreath,
white spray paint, heavy two-sided cute scrapbook paper, cute buttons, a paper
trimmer, scissors and a hot glue gun.
Next,
you want to take your scrapbook paper and cut a bunch of squares. I made my squares 5x5 inches in size. You can make them any size you like. You will need whatever number of pinwheels
that you want to put on your wreath. I
needed seven pinwheels for a 24” wreath.
The
next step is to fold your squares in half and crease ever so slightly in the
middle. Fold two times ways so that you
can create a “center mark” on your square.
Once you have your center, then cut a straight line from each of the
four corners to approximately ¼ inch from the center point. DO NOT cut the whole way to the point.
It’s
time to use the glue gun, so get it warmed up!
Put a small dab of hot glue in the center point of the pinwheel, then
fold the first corner over to the center and continue with each corner until
you have all four corners adhered in the middle. You may need to add a little more glue as you
go along. Keep going until you have all
of your pinwheels made.
I
thought the pinwheels needed a little something for the center to perk them up,
so I added some cute buttons with hot glue.
I
let my pinwheels set for about 30 minutes.
Once they were set and dry, I added some hot glue to the back of the
pinwheel and then attached them to the grapevine wreath. That’s it!
You’re done – mine was hanging on my front door an hour later!
