Pinwheel Template

Pinwheels spinning in the breeze are always a cheery sight. This card, created by Villis Sanderson, is made with a nod to Halloween and inspires our Pretty Paper Pinwheels challenge. The Stampers’ Sampler invites you to play with pinwheels for our Feb/Mar 2006 issue.

Just in time for spring we look forward to creations made for a wedding, a child’s birthday party, or a garden party. We’re looking for inspired and fresh ideas using this concept. Pinwheels can be a part of a card or individual 3-dimensional pieces. As always, please be sure your pinwheel project includes some rubber-stamping.

A pinwheel is easy to make and only a square piece of paper is required. Follow the template and cutting lines below to create your own pinwheels.

See the stunning results of this 'Tempting Template' challenge in the February/ March 2006 issue of The Stampers' Sampler.

1. Trace template onto card stock or scrapbook paper.
2. Cut along dotted lines.
3. Stamp, color or paint as desired.
4. Bend each lettered corner down to the center circle and glue in place. A brad or eyelet can also be used to secure the points. The pinwheel can be turned to face either way.
