Summer BBQ Windmills
Let’s get fired up for a summer project!
Usually when I think of a pinwheel,
I think of a little kid enjoying a colorful spinning toy and a summer breeze.
But I wanted something a little tastier, a little saucier, a little more lively
for my summer barbeque centerpiece…yet still cute and simple, like the
pinwheels from my childhood.
So I whipped up these super scrapped
Summer
Windmills in a Tin Pail. I thought they would be a great way to dress up
tables at the ole’ family BBQ this year.
They are easy as pie to make using
trace and cut Pinwheel and Star templates. Start by tracing a pattern onto
paper. Choose stars and stripes paper for a patriotic look, barbeque-themed
paper for all your backyard parties or even glow-in-the-dark paper and stickers
for nighttime Independence Day fun.
Then cut out the traced template and
crease according to the fold guidelines on the template. Attach some wooden
craft sticks for handles and you’ve got yourself a real firecracker of a craft!

I hope this project sparks
creativity and ignites your senses! Happy 4th of July my
star-spangled readers! Your friend,
