Patriotic Pinwheels Instructions

They are designed to be cut on a Cricut or other cutting machine.

Cut out each pinwheel — red, blue, white. Unassembled, they look like this:

Carefully bring the holes along the outside edge (one on each side) toward the center hole. Thread a brad through all five holes and open the clasp so the whole pinwheel holds together. Glue the wooden dowel on the back to complete each pinwheel. These are just decorative (they don’t spin), though you could use a tutorial like this to create a version that will spin.
