Hello! Shellye here today with a cute Summer display that can also double as party favors for your Summer soiree!
I started with a 6X6 paper pad from the "I Love Sunshine" Collection by Echo Park Paper. Creating the pinwheels involves a single sheet of 6X6 paper (or any size) for each. You can find easy patterns for making the pinwheels here.
For the centers of the pinwheels, I used the small DIY Burlap Sunflowers. To turn the blooms into their beautiful chartreuse color, I poured some Heidi Swapp Color Shine ink into a plastic cup and then dipped them one at a time. The excess ink was tapped off and then the blooms were placed on a paper towel to dry (about 15-20 minutes).
To further the embellishment of the pinwheels, I also colored the DIY Mini Butterflies with a blue alcohol marker and added them, along with a sticker from the paper collection.
The pinwheels were glued to a paper straw and added to the glass jar.
Pinwheels also make cute package tie-ons or string several together to create a unique banner!
Thanks for joining me today at Petaloo!
