Pin Wheels - How To

For those of you who don't know how to make the Pin Wheels, here is a short tutorial.
All you need is a square piece of dsp. Any size will work as long as its square. My square is 4 x 4. Use your Diagonal Score Board and score from corner to corner. Then turn 1/4 turn and score again. Next you will cut up each line almost to the center. I think I left about 1/2" or so. Using your Pokie Tool (technical term for Paper Piercer)you will poke one hole on each of the left corners (or right, just make sure its the same for each triangle) and one in the center. Now you are ready to put it together.

This was hard to photograph. Put the brad in one corner, then pick up each corner like above.

Then put your brad in the center. On my Pin Wheels I used straws as the stick. Just poke a whole on the side and insert your brad through it after you pin up each triangle. Its a little tight, but it can be done. So they are super easy to make.
