Hello to all of you PinkWhen readers! I’m Lisa Mabey from Mabey She Made It, a DIY, crafts, and sewing blog and I’m so excited to be here with you sharing a super simple but fun summer idea.

If you’ve never made pinwheels before, you’re in for a fun treat! I love how quick and cute they are. They’re the perfect addition to your summer decor and they look impressive while taking no time at all to create.

I wanted to incorporate them into some wedding luncheon centerpieces, so I made quite a few, and my girls had so much fun with them. So even if you don’t have a project or event coming up, you can spend just a few minutes making up a couple and watch your little ones have a lot of fun.

Their favorite is to stand in front of the fan and watch how quickly they spin. A nice breeze outside is pretty fun too. I ended up making extra so they could play with them and not impede my progress. Double win.

Here’s how to make your own:

  1. Print the Pinwheel Template onto the paper of your choice. I like to use a double-sided scrapbooking paper so you have fun designs on both sides.Pinwheel Tutorial and Template | Mabey She Made It | #pinwheel #summer
  2. Cut along the four dotted lines.
  3. Pull the right corner (or left; it doesn’t really matter as long as you use the same corner each time) of each side to the center, but don’t crease the foldPinwheel Tutorial and Template | Mabey She Made It | #pinwheel #summerPinwheel Tutorial and Template | Mabey She Made It | #pinwheel #summer
  4. Pin all four pulled corners to the center dot using a pin then stick the pin into a pencil eraser, straw, or any other “stick” for your pinwheel.Pinwheel Tutorial and Template | Mabey She Made It | #pinwheel #summer

That’s it! One quick note, if you’d rather not print the template, you can eye it starting with square paper. They’re rather forgiving.
