Dies R Us: Fun With Pinwheels!

Fun With Pinwheels!

Vickie Y sharing with you today! As a young girl I LOVED pinwheels! The kind on a stick that when blown on or caught with the wind would whirl round and round....mesmerizing! When I found the Elizabeth Crafts Designs Pinwheel die in the DRU online store I couldn't resist using it to create a fun pinwheel wreath!

I removed the inside ring from a 7 inch embroidery hoop to create the base for the wreath. I wrapped the wood hoop using some twill ribbon from my stash. Hint: you could paint the hoop, wrap it using floral tape, or leave it natural!

Using double sided designer paper I die cut several pinwheels and used a small brad to fasten the blades to the center of each wheel. I then adhered each pinwheel to the hoop leaving room on the right side to put the Cheery Lynn Fanciful Flourish die cut and a multi-loop bow.

I had a pinwheel left so I created a card to go along with the wreath.

Here are the dies used to create the wreath and card:
