Project Instructions:
1. Paint foam wreath red; let dry.
2. Cut ten 5″ squares from double-sided paper. If you are using single-sided papers, paste two sheets together back to back before cutting squares, then let dry.
3. To create pinwheels, refer to Diagram 1 in our downloadable PDF Pinwheel Pattern.
Use pencil to mark 2-1/2″ lines from corners of paper squares toward centers. Use a craft knife and metal-edged ruler, or other cutting tool, to cut paper squares along these lines, but do not cut all the way to center. Bring left corner of each side down to center and secure with glue gun.
4. Punch ten 1/2″ circles from solid red paper and glue to centers of pinwheels. Glue pinwheels side by side to wreath.
5. Glue ribbon ends together to create hanging loop and, finally, glue ends to top center back of wreath to make a hanger.
