1 Resource 1a First, cut one 4 x 4 and one 8 x 8 square out of a piece of paper. 3. Second, draw lines across each square to join the corners. Then, mark the center of the squares with a dot, and draw an additional dot at each of the corners. 4. Use a pair of scissors to cut along the diagonal lines toward the center dot, leaving about ½ on each side of the dot. Then, punch a hole through each of your dots. Line the dots on the outer edge of your pinwheel up with the dot in the center. Push a pin or thumbtack through the dots to hold everything together. Then, push the pin into the side of a pencil eraser or straw, leaving space between the pin and the eraser or straw so that the pinwheel moves freely. You just made a pinwheel! 1
