Giant Pinwheels from 12-inch square paper



Hiya. Today I have a fabulous giant pinwheel project over on the Silhouette UK Blog. I used bright and lovely papers from the All Occasions paper pad from GraphtecGB. The papers are double-sided, so perfect for making windmills (or pinwheels, as our friends across the Atlantic call them). They are 180 gsm too, so a great weight for sturdier paper crafting projects. The file, the 3D Double Pinwheel, is designed by Lori Whitlock (#81178), and is available from the Silhouette Design Store.




The post over on the Silhouette UK Blog includes hints and tips on:

  • Cutting the file
  • Assembling the pinwheel
  • Making the stick
  • Adding additional decorations


The finished pinwheel would make a great decoration for a party room, or for an the garden for an outdoor party. Do pop over to the Silhouette UK Blog if you'd like to find out more.

Windmills are great fun for the children too, a great craft idea to keep them amused during the holidays. Love the colourful paper and the addition of the flower center.
