Total Time 30 minutes or less
When I do a craft, I really want two things. I want it to be easy and quick (preferably with minimal mess), and I want it to look darling.
This project met both of my requirements and had the bonus of being made with things I already had sitting around. I made this set of eight in 10 minutes with two sheets of 8.5x11 paper. Next time, I might use double-sided paper, for even more fun.
I also love how many uses there are for these cute little clips. Where would you use them?

What you'll need
- Patterned paper (any size will work)
- Scissors
- Brads
- Clothespins
- Glue Gun
How to make it
1. Fold the corner of your paper over to make a triangle (you can make it as large or small as you like).
2. Trim along the unfolded edges so you have a square folded in half, diagonally.
3. Unfold the paper and fold diagnoally the opposite way so that you have creases forming an X across your paper. With scissors, cut along those diagnoal lines about 3/4 of the distance between the points and the center.
4. Fold down ever other corner and hold them in the center point. Fasten together in the center with a brad. Glue the finished pinwheel to a clothespin.
