Pinwheel Bouquet (with Video)


Here's a quick fun project for the 4th of July.  Every year my whole family goes to one of my sister's house for the 4th, and I thought it would be fun to make her a little decoration that could double as entertainment for my little nieces and nephews!


After a lot of trial and error, I figured out how to make a pinwheel that is sturdy and spins well.


To make my patriotic holder, I covered a jelly jar with gorgeous red burlap and metallic twine from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique and a cute tag decorated with My Creative Time's Build a Banner Kit and My Little Firecracker Stamp Set.

Here's a video to see how to make these.  They really are easy!  I cut my base shape with the Silhouette, but I explained in the video how you can easily do it by hand.
