Mother's Day Card Ideas using pinwheels

Hi everyone

We've found a way to make cards fun and interesting. Pinwheels are cute and give a card great dimension. They're easy to make so kids can get involved (with supervision of course). These cards would be a great mother's day gift especially made from the kids. Check out our creations and how-to below.

You will need:

Rasberry 8” x 8”

Venice

paper pack (8” x 8” assorted paper packs available soon)

brad

Large pin      

Blank cards

Icy pole stick

Ruler

Pencil

Scissors

glue

Cut 2 coordinating papers into a square 4” x 4” and attach together.

Fold the square corner to corner to mark the centre then unfold.

 

  

 

 

With a pencil make a mark approx 1/3 from centre and cut along folded lines to the pencil mark.

 

Bring every other point to the centre and place a pin through all points. With the pin make a hole big enough to replace with a brad.

 

 

 

Cover the front of a card with patterned paper or leave plain.

Glue icy pole stick to the card and attach pinwheel to top of icy pole stick.

You may like to use flowers, ribbon, rub ons etc to decorate your pinwheel card.

 

Happy creating!
