Craft Ideas: Paper Pinwheel | Art & Craft for Class 7 PDF Download

Material Required

• A sheet of paper (decorated or plain)
• Unsharpened pencil with eraser
• Crayons
• Scissors
• Ruler
• Sharpened pencil
• Ball pin

Directions to be followed

• Start off by cutting a square from the sheet of paper, with each side measuring 15 cm, and decorate the square with crayons.
• Mark the centre of the page, measuring or eyeballing it. Using the ruler and pencil, draw two diagonal lines which extend from one corner to the other. The lines should cross at the centre of the page.
• Once the lines have been drawn, mark a point on each line (about 7 cm away from each corner). Cut on the line from each corner up to the marked points.
• Erase pencil marks (except for the centre point).
• Now using the pin, punch a hole in the centre as well as at the tips of the corners.
• Use the pin to poke through the point at one corner and curl it towards the centre without folding it (to look like a flower petal). Hold it in place and curl the remaining three towards the centre.
• Push the pin through the centre hole. Hold a pencil with an eraser on a flat surface and align the centre of the pinwheel against the eraser, and push the pin into the eraser.
• The pinwheel is now ready! Blow at it or hold it against a light breeze to see it move!
