FLOWER WINDMILLS INSTRUCTIONS 1 You will need to create a square from your paper. You could do this by first folding your paper into a triangle by taking one corner and lining it up with the other. This will leave extra on one side that you can cut off. Decorate your paper using colours and shapes, or whatever your imagination can think of! Remember to decorate both sides. Fold your paper in half and crease slightly. Then fold the paper in the opposite direction and again crease slightly. Cut along the creases about halfway to the centre of the paper. Be careful not to cut all the way. Bend each corner into the middle. Avoid folding as your flower won’t turn as well. Stick your blue tack onto the side of the straw, near one of the ends. Fold all four corners into the centre, place your bun case on top then push your split pin along with the corners though the centre of your bun case, through the straw and into the blue tack. You have now created your flower windmill!
