4th of July Pinwheels

I love the 4th of July! It is probably my most favorite holidays! So, when my friend wanted to make some of these pinwheels in 4th of July Fabrics, I was ALL IN! We first picked out 6 inches of 6 different, but coordinating fabrics. We also got a yard of double sided fusable interfacing, wooden dowells, and buttons. You cut 6 inch squares from each of the fabrics and the interfacing and iron a coordinating fabric onto each side. Trim with pinking shears, or leave straight, or do a combo of the two, which is what we did. Mark you center and cut from each corner in about an inch from the center. Make some holes, one in the center, and one on each corner making sure you cut all on the left or all on the right on each corner so they are all the same. We used a scrapbook setter to make the holes. Fold in each of your "holed" corners to the center and secure with a brad. Glue a button onto your brad and a wooden dowell onto your back and you're done! Super easy!
Thanks Natalie for the idea and fun times!
