FLATTENED WINDMILL CARD


This panel is made is made from four small windmills, flattened, and stuck down flat. To make the “windmills”, fold and unfold squares in half along the diagonal (so the folds make a big X), cut from each corner half way down the fold line towards the centre and finally fold every second tip to the centre and secure (I used a little double sided tape and then a split pin, which also serves as a feature for the centres). After attaching the squares to the backing paper, add a fifth split pin to the middle for decoration. Double-sided paper usually works best, especially when its mounted on a contrasting colour.
