How to fold a Pinwheel

Fold a long strip, pull out the corners into a twin-boat shape, then fold two triangles over to make a four-bladed pinwheel.

Steps to fold a Pinwheel (10 steps)

Step 1Start with the white side up. Fold in half side to side, crease, and unfold.
Step 2Fold the left edge to the center crease.
Step 3Fold the right edge to the center too.
Step 4Fold in half top to bottom, crease, and unfold.
Step 5Fold the top edge to the center crease, crease, and unfold.
Step 6Crease the bottom edge the same way and unfold.
Step 7Pull the two top corners out to the sides while bringing the top edge down to the center crease, and flatten. This makes one boat shape.
Step 8Pull out the bottom two corners the same way and flatten. Two boat shapes sit one above the other. This is the twin boat base.
Step 9Fold the pointed lower right triangle down toward the middle.
Step 10Fold the pointed upper left triangle up. Four blades appear, and the pinwheel is finished.
