UAE Flag Paper Pinwheel Cover

All you need:

  • The Printable Template (click ->) – UAE Flag Paper Pin Wheel
  • Scissors
  • Colourful paper straws
  • Thumbtacks/ Pinwheel fasteners
  • Printer
  • Square White paper
  • Red, Black and Green crayons (if printing the Black and White sheet from the template)

Instructions:

The simple instructions are already provided with the template. However, I can tell you now, it only involves cutting along the dotted lines and folding the corners of the flap so that they meet in the centre of the square.

It’s important to use a thumbtack, or a loosely tied bead, so that the pinwheel can freely rotate as it catches the wind.

Don’t forget to decorate the straw with colourful stickers and ribbons too.
