Not content to stop with recycled soft drink bottle flowers, I cut up a dog food bag and made pinwheels.
(I was inspired by a forgotten blogger's scrapbook paper pinwheels but hellfire, I cannot remember/find the post. If you've seen it, please let me know so I can give credit.)
Dog or cat food bag, heavy duty plastic
Scissors
Paper fastener brads
Hole punch
String or wire
(Too large squares result in floppy pinwheels.)
Fold a corner over to determine center.
Mark it or eyeball it. Punch a hole in it.
From a corner toward the center,
make a cut,
leaving a 1/4" or so between the cut and the hole.
Repeat so you have 4 cuts.
Folding the corners toward the center
results in petal-shaped pieces.
results in petal-shaped pieces.
Punch a hole in each corner.
From the bottom of one corner,
From the bottom of one corner,
push a brad into the hole and
fold over toward the center hole.
Repeat, adding the remaining three sections
before pushing brad through center hole.
