Fabric pinwheels were on my list of projects to try. Will be much easier with your tutorial! I thought it would be a nice springtime project. Do these actually spin?

Hello!
I really like your how to as well as the one about the christmas pixie. I was wondering if I could translate it in French and add it to my list of how to as explained in my french post (http://www.petitcitron.com/index.php/form_howto.html)
Of course, your website would be quoted and there would be a link!
Thank you,
Perrine

I used your tutorial yesterday to make a pinwheel mobile for my son's room. It came out great. Thanks so much!

One quick, time-saving trick... I used hot glue to tack down the blades of the pinwheel, and attach the buttons. It looks just as good... but half the work!

Oh so cute. I think I am going to cover a large cardboard button with cotton and one of the fabrics and see what that looks like in the center. I may have to glue it though. Thanks perrine for the gluing tip.

I used the tutorial yesterday to make room to move a reel of my son. It went very well. Thanks! A quick time-saving ... I used hot glue to tack the blades of the reel and attach the buttons. So good ... but half the work!
