How to Make a Pinwheel

Step 1.-

Cut the paper into a 7" x 7" / 17.5 cm x 17.5 cm square as suggested under the "Things You'll Need".

Step 2.-

Draw four equal squares on the piece of paper. Use a pencil and ruler to get the square dimensions accurate and straight. Do not draw the lines too hard or they will show up under your coloring later.

Step 3.-

Color in the squares. Make each square a different color. Here are some ideas for different ways to color the squares:Color each square with a marker or pencil;Paint each square;
Glue on pictures cut from a magazine into each square. Be sure to glue firmly.

Step 4.-

Allow paint or glue work to dry before proceeding to the next steps.

Step 5.-

Blue lines marked for cutting
Place a ruler diagonally at the edge of one corner of the square. From the edge, follow the diagonal line of the ruler and draw a line of 3 inches / 7.5 cm toward the middle. Repeat this for each of the corners, so that you have four lines drawn toward the middle, and they are all of the same length.

Step 6.-

Cut along each line to its end

Step 7.-

Label each line A, B, C and D. Mark on the left side of each cut, as shown.

Step 8.-

Take edges A, B, C and D in your fingers. Pull these to the center of the square.

Step 9.-

Place the pin into the middle of the edges A, B, C and D. Push the pin right through the paper, so that each one of these edges sits snugly on top of the other on the pin.

Step 10.-

Slide a bead onto the underside of the pin. This bead forms the part that permits the windmill to spin between the paper and the stick.

Step 11.-

Place the stick down on a flat surface.

Step 12.-

Place the pinwheel with bead intact above the stick, ready for hammering the pin directly into the stick.

Step 13.-

Hammer with care. Drive the pin into the stick securely. If necessary, fold back any part of the pin that sticks through the other side of the stick.

Step 13.-

Take your pinwheel outside and watch it catch the wind.

Hello Friend,

I was talking to one of my friends who is a nurse.
She told me that she is seeing more and more women come into the ER
with heart related problems.
Because I care about all of my G-G friends,
I thought I would share some good info on women's heart health.

If you experience any of these symptoms:
1. Discomfort, tightness, uncomfortable pressure, fullness,
squeezing in the center of the chest lasting more than a few minutes, or comes and goes
2. Crushing chest pain
3. Pressure or pain that spreads to the shoulders, neck, upper back, jaw, or arms.
4. Dizziness or nausea
5. Clammy sweats, heart flutters, or paleness
6. Unexplained feelings of anxiety, fatigue or weakness - especially with exertion
7. Stomach or abdominal pain
8. Shortness of breath and difficulty breathing

DO NOT HESITATE...Call an ambulance! Time is of the essence!
Tell them that you are having heart attack symptoms.
They will send an ambulance to transport you to a hospital emergency room.
After you make the phone call, crush or chew a full-strength aspirin
(swallow with a glass of water) to prevent further blood clotting.

Please share this info with others!
Blessings, Rita
