Inexpensive Paper Crafts
August 14th 2010 23:53
Okay, summer is winding down....this means FABULOUS discounts on paper products.Perfect time to set the kids up for some paper crafts, ( or plan some art projects for your classroom)
Remember making pinwheels? With only scissors, a sheet of paper, straw, ballpoint pen casing and a pin you can teach your kids to make these fun toys. Poke them in the garden, or fix them on bikes and watch them spin in the wind.
- Cut the square from each of the corners toward the center.
- Leave a 1-inch space in the center.
- Poke a hole in the center of the square with the pin.
- Bend every other corner to the center. Hold in place with the pin.
- Place a small portion of the ballpoint pen casing over the pin so the pinwheel will spin easily.
-Push the pin through the top of a straw. Add a small piece of heavy cardboard or cork for safety. Alternately, press the pin into a small dowel.
