{Americana} Pinwheels

As I was strolling facebook I spotted this adorable pinwheel feature from Tip Junkie and I had to know more about them.  I {{love}} anything primitive country.

My cute friends over at Wayward Girls has an awesome step by step tutorial on how to make these pinwheels.  So please check that out if you want to know how to make these cuties.  Its super easy!

These pinwheels do not move -- they are just for decoration.  

I started with an empty can and covered it with scrapbook paper in a burlap design.  I tied a strip of homespun fabric to the center of the can. 

I added basket filler to "can" to cover up floral foam and rim of can.

For the pinwheels I used kraft pattern paper I found at Hobby Lobby.  All of these papers came together in a pack.  I glued them onto skewers.  

I like the 4" pinwheels the best.  For these you see below I made 2 = 4" x 4" pinwheels and glued one on the front and one on the back of a skewer, off setting the colors a little. Alternating pattern paper and solid. 

Learn how to make a pinwheel here. 

Here I am showing you the different sizes I tried.  The 6" pinwheel was a bit big for my arrangement.  I like the 4" pinwheels the best. 

I also added sentiments to my pinwheel's arrangement -- it completes my project just perfect!
