Instructions
- Take 2 equal sized-square papers or print from the printable templates to make the
pinwheels. Cut out templates if using them. - Glue the papers together, back to back, and allow to dry completely.
- Hold the paper diagonally. Fold it in half horizontally, then open the fold. Now fold it in half again - this time vertically. These folds will help you to make the pinwheel look accurate.

- Take the top points in the upper right corner and bring them towards the center. Glue in place.
- Repeat the gentle folding in and gluing for the remaining three corners.
