Making Pinwheel Straws.

20130705-093834.jpg

Supplies:

*Brads
*Scissors
*Paper Punch to fit the size of your brad (mine was 1/16th inch Punch).
*Paper of your choice cut into 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 inch squares (cut as many as you will need).
*Straws

After cutting out your squares, cut slits on each corner about a 1/2 inch from the center of square.
Then punch holes in every other corner. Take the corners with the holes and one at a time curve them towards the center careful not to bend them to much. Then put brad through holes and punch a hole through the center of square and open brad at the back.

I slipped straw through one of Pinwheel Sections.

You can find out more how to make them here.

I bought these wood anchor and crab shapes at Michaels and then I painted them and I added button and Bakers Twine to the anchor and hot glued them on.
