Pinwheel Kanzashi

These are my favorite project of the year so far. I love pinwheels, and have always wanted to make pinwheel kanzashi - so I finally sat down and did it.

I made one large pinwheel

…and three small ones.

I have a pinwheel kanzashi that I purchased when I was living in Japan. I wanted to make mine a little different by lining the inside of the pinwheel with chiyogami paper. The one that I purchased was plain white card paper inside.

And yes, they all spin! :slight_smile: Here is a video of them with some spin.

I like the color combination you chose. Adding the patterned paper on the inside is very pretty, I think it adds visual interest.
How cool that they also spin!
