You are going to love this next feature. Remember the incredible editorial shoot that we featured a few weeks back, designed by the forever talented Carter & Cook? Well, we had so many requests for more information on the adorable pinwheels that posh paperie crafted, we’ve put together a pretty great DIY feature. Elizabeth, the genius behind the detail, was sweet enough to give us perfect step-by-step info, along with really easy to follow pictures, beautifully captured by Jackie Wonders.
Step #1: Supplies.
Pick your paper and buttons. *Hint*: text weight paper works best. Choosing coordinating patterns and colors for the paper is fun, and choosing different sizes and shapes in the buttons is cute, too. Choose scissors or a paper cutter, and adhesive. Cut 2 strips of paper, equal length and width, depending on the size of the pinwheel you want (thicker strips = larger pinwheel).
Steps #2 and #3: Folding + Combining.
Evenly fold (like an accordion) the 2 strips of paper. Make sure the widths match! (Note: smaller folds make tighter pinwheels. Larger folds are more loose and show more of the pattern. We like to make several of each size – makes for an adorable display). Line up one end of the folded accordion with the end of the other accordion. Fit together and adhere securely. Permanent adhesive squares work nicely, and lie flat.
Step #4: Securing.
Pull the loose ends of the accordion strip around towards each other and adhere securely. The pinwheel will look like a cardstock “circle” (similar to the coffee sleeves they give you at Starbucks). You will need to pop the pinwheel out and push it down (work with it until it looks like a pinwheel should look), holding it in place with your fingers. In the photo, the paperweight is doing the job of holding the pinwheel in place.
Step #5: Finishing Touches.
Choose your button and secure *tightly* with glue dots (you may need to use several!). Note: we recommend weighing the pinwheels down for several hours once they are fully assembled). This will help to ensure that they are secure.

[...] October 30, 2009 · Leave a Comment Now that I had my scrap area cleaned up, I decided to make new signs for our doors. We live on a corner lot, and people come to both the front and back doors. Over a year ago I stocked up on some wooden signs from the dollar store and they’ve come in handy! I had a door sign that I made hanging on the front door, but it really is quite spring/summer looking, so I wanted to make something that didn’t look too seasonal. I painted the sign navy and then attached this Amy Butler paper. I made the little pinwheel flowers using this tutorial. [...]

[...] “Jane of Olive Hue Paper Goods helped to create the designs for all of the stationery and paper goods and I printed and assembled them at home, which definitely saved on costs. The bride wanted a dessert bar for her wedding but it was not in her budget, so we decided to splurge on one for her bridal shower. We ordered some delicious mini lemon cupcakes, red velvet cake pops and tiffany blue macaroons from Melody at My Sweet and Saucy, and guests loved them. We also packaged a single macaroon for each guest to take home as a favor and personalized them with individual nametags. I hand-made some paper-rosettes to hang above our food table and can’t wait to use these for other events in the future. I feel like they make a huge statement on a small budget!
