Fun Fall Craft

The girls and I had so much fun doing these owls!  They are so fun and easy.  All you need are brown lunch sacks, craft paper, brads, scissors, and glue.  We also had a 'leftover' bag of circles from the local craft store, and a craft punch to make a few different shapes.  We cut our circles in half to create wings and feathers, but there's really no wrong way to decorate your owl.  We will be having more fun with these!  Enjoy, xoxo!

How-to make a Pinwheel

When I first learned how to make these I was shocked...and so excited.  They are SO easy and SO fun, and the perfect crafty touch to a million things.

Step1:  Start with any size of square paper.  Cut a diagonal line inward from the corners, leaving about an 1/2 inch space in the middle of the diagonal line (s).  Follow the pink lines.  The space you leave in the center really depends on how big your pinwheel is.

 Step 2:  Using a glue gun, glue in one corner to the center.

 

Step 3:  Glue in every other corner to the center with a small dab of hot glue.

 Step 4:  Repeat step 3 for the 3rd and 4th corners.

 And Voila!  You've made a pinwheel.  Finish by adding a button to the center (if you like).

 

 They are pretty cute huh?  I attached mine to little dowels, but you can hang them from fish string from the ceiling, or string a bunch by their corners to make a banner.  So fun!  Don't be surprised if we go crazy with these at Christmas time. 

Enjoy Xoxo
