Hello everyone! I hope you are feeling creative because this week I decided I would make some pinwheels. I think they are a perfect decoration for a kids themed birthday party.
I got my supplies from Sarbe (if you haven’t heard of them they sell gorgeous papers and invites). I chose to do a dinosaur theme and a mermaid theme. To make these you will need:
- paper (decorated or colour is best)
- straws or sticks (trimmed to the length you want)
- scissors
- glue
- fastener pins
For the tutorial I used this one that I found really easy to follow on YouTube. You can watch the video here.
I had so much fun making these, I just LOVE how they turned out! Let me know if you give them a try!

These look awesome!! Love the purple.
Thanks!
Cute!!
Thank you!
oooh pretty. Kids will love those. Speaking of pinwheels though… it reminds me of cinnamon buns and I think I’d better go and make some, I’m drooling.
so true! when I originally searched for the pinwheels on google i got a lot of results for cinnamon buns! yummm
Awesome! I hope you enter them in the Made it! Def going to try these x
Thanks Maryanne
