When the sun shines mercilessly outside the window, a breath of fresh wind seems to be the highest pleasure. If it were colored, then not a single stream of it would have gone unnoticed: I saw a colorful air wave, stood in its way, raised its hands and ... here it is - the bliss of “bathing” in a refreshing surf.
Yes, it’s not easy to see the wind, but its presence is easy to detect. How? Make a paper spinner! This is what we will do.
Preparatory stage
Pinwheel is a wonderful wind catcher. This toy is especially liked by children. How to make a turntable? Of paper, of course. For beginners and children, colored paper is an ideal material that is easy to work with.
Check if everything you need is at your fingertips:
- a square sheet of paper;
- scissors;
- a small carnation and two beads (or a pin, a button on a round leg, etc.);
- a skewer (or a pencil, a straw for a cocktail, a wooden stick, etc.).
Stage 1
Now the question of how to make a turntable out of paper will be dealt with closely.
Place your beautiful paper sheet on the table in front of you. Bend it exactly diagonally in half. Flatten. Bend on the other side again. Spread the square. On the sheet should be formed two intersected in the center of the line obtained by bending.
Make four cuts along the crease from each corner to the center. But do not cut to the intersection, leave one and a half centimeters to the “meeting point” of the two lines.
Stage 2
With a nail, make preliminary punctures: in the center (just where the lines intersect) and one hole in each left corner of the triangle. Here is what you should get:
Stage 3
Put the bead on the carnation.
Stage 4
Let's proceed to the final stage of the process called "How to make a paper spinner." Connect all four ends in the center with the holes and thread the stud through each of them, as well as through the middle. On the back side, where the tip now sticks out, put a second bead on it.
Stage 5
Attach the “inflorescence” of the turntable to a wooden stick.
The toy is ready! Now even your child can explain how to make a paper spinner . Put a stick in a flower pot, and it will not only “bloom”, but also as a stand will be a reliable assistant to the watchman blowing a fresh breeze.
By the way, this simple little thing can become a stylish element of the design of the room. An elegant pinwheel will decorate the office.
Several bright "mills" will delight the eye in their apartment.
Turntables can also serve as an interesting solution for landscape design.
And they can become the center of the holiday.
A paper spinner with your own hands is a simple matter, giving a quick result and a lot of positive, especially if you did it with a child. He will remember such a creative tandem and in the distant future he will also teach his children how to craft wind catchers.
