STEP 1:
Patterned side up;
Top of your paper (where petals will be) against the left border;
Score at 1.5”, 3” and 5.5”


STEP 2:
Patterned side up;
Bottom of your paper against the top;
Stop all score lines at the 1.5’’ line scored in step 1: Score at 1-3/4”, 3-1/2”, 5-1/4”, 7”, 8-3/4” and 10-1/2”.


STEP 3:

Top of your paper against top;
Do not score but use your bone folder to mark 1-1/2”, 3-1/4”, 5", 6-3/4”, 8-1/2” and 10-1/4”. (1/4” to the left of the lines scored in step 2)

STEP 4:

I numbered the marks hoping it would be easier to see in the next step.

Patterned side down;
Line the numbers in pairs up with the 6” line on Scor-pal (#0s shown here);
Stop at the 3” line scored in step 1, score at 6”.

Pinwheel



Pinwheel in die
 Diecut paper into 2 pieces as shown. I used regular Big Shot cutting plates for this (no need for the13″ plates). We will be referring to the pieces as 1 and 2 as identified:

2. Overlap 2 on top of 1.
Pinwheel overlaping

3. Tuck 1′s flaps back on top. You can see that piece 1 flaps are narrower than 2 flaps.
Pinwheel twist 2Pinwheel twisted 1

4. Use a brad to hold the flaps together. Tip: Start with a piece 1 flap; keep pushing the brad through the holes clock-wise. I made the pink pinwheel by starting with a 2 flap and as you can see in the finished photo, it has a less uniformed look than the green one. And trust me, it is a lot easier when it comes to the last flap by starting with an 1 flap.

5. Push the brad through the hole in the center and set.
