  • Pinwheel = cut 1 inch square.  From each corner, cut to center about 3/4 of the way.   Fold every other cut to center and glue down.  Add a brad to center.  The blue stick on pinwheel is just blue cord I purchased at Hobby Lobby.  Cut cord to size and glue one end to girl's hand, one end to pinwheel.  Pinwheel is attached with foam tape.

The top portion was covered accidently :-)
