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.

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

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.
