Pinwheels

Did you know pinwheels are supposed to bring good luck? I didn't until today. I'm thinking of making some "good luck" pinwheel earrings. I'll let you know how those turn out, but in the meantime here is another little tutorial. Here is how you make (you guessed it) pinwheels:
You can do this with one or two colors. I chose two to show you the more complicated option. Cut two circles of the same size out of felt.
Cut two pairs of slits directly across from each other, making sure to leave a little space in the middle.
Fold the corner of one slip down and sew it to the little space you left in the middle. Repeat this four times, folding down every other corner until you have this shape.
Attach a little button and voila.
Catch you on the flip side.
