Pinwheels? Fans? Whatever you would like to call them! I got a freebie flyer at Hobby Lobby a while back that calls them Pinwheels and briefly tells you how to make them. When I google Pinwheels I get a those cute pinwheels you blow on to make spin. Which is too bad because the instructions on the flyer were limited! I want to make bigger ones but am not sure the way to do it... Humm... These are more party decorations for the baby shower. It may seem like a lot of decorations but I really just space things out over the week, slowly getting things done a day at a time instead of having to stressout and do them all on the same day! If I didn't have two small kiddos to play with them it would be a breeze. I'm not sure where I am going to use these yet in my decorating but I had really wanted to try them out. In this picture you can also see the clothes pins I painted last night. Super cute!
What it's all about
The Challenge: Stay away from the craft stores for ONE WHOLE YEAR! This, my friends, is a challenge for me. My craft room is ridiculously overflowing. I LOVE thinking/finding new fun crafts to create and then going to the store to collect the supplies. Unfortunately, many of these projects never get finished; some never even get started. So here I am, challenging myself to not buy any craft supplies and yet still create crafts everyday!
The Exceptions: Inevitably I will need to purchase things like adhesives, glue, and thread. Well maybe not thread... Also gifts are allowed. If a family or friend feels so inclinded to send me a gift of crafts supplies who am I to refuse? I may not finish a project a day, but I will at least try. I have two small children who take up most of my time. I also enjoy other crafts like quilting. Therefore, sometimes the projects just won't get done in a day. But, I promise to try my best!
