Trendwatch: Pinwheels

June 15, 2009 by Francine Clouden

Maybe it’s because it’s summer but pinwheels seem to be popping up everywhere lately.

Cheeky Magpie has a tutorial and free template for making a working pinwheel.

They were featured in the May Studio Calico kit which included a pinwheel stamp. Davinie from the design team posted a tutorial on making a paper pinwheel to use on your projects.

Here’s a tutorial from Michael’s Stores for a pinwheel scrapook page

The BHG magazine Simply Creative Weddings, shows how to use scrapbook paper to make a bouquet of pinwheel flowers for use as a centerpiece.

Use origami to make a folded pinwheel that involves no cutting.

Designer Fifi Mandirac also has an origami project: an envelope with a pinwheel closer. Get the details in English or French

Finally, for the digi and hybrid scrappers, download this template and action set for some virtual  pinwheels!

FREE Beauty and the Beast Book Nook Cut Files

Beauty and the Beast is my all time favorite Disney movie and that’s saying a lot since I’m a huge Disney fan! Miss Mandee is also a big fan since she designs so many wonderful Disney inspired paper crafting projects including this stunning Book Nook. This layered die cut design features Belle and the Beast silhouettes dancing on the iconic staircase in Beasts castle with candelabras on the sides (a nod to Lumiere) and a big chandelier hanging above. She’s also used rose pattern paper for the backdrop and rolled paper roses on the front to represent the Beasts magic rose. She’s sharing these cut files for FREE that you can use with your electronic die cutting machine to make your own Beauty and the Beasts Book Nook to place between your Disney scrapbooks on a shelf.

Click here to visit the Miss Mandee blog to get the cut files.
