There are three things I’m kind of obsessing over lately. I’m actually a little ashamed to admit it. The first is rainbows. Do I need to even explain myself? I mean, what’s not to love? Pinterest, per usual, has not helped at all with curbing this obsession. It’s really only encouraged it. I mean . . . . Pinterest basically begged me to plan a rainbow birthday party for Quinn.
What’s a girl to do?
Obsession two: pinwheels. I’m not sure anything screams summer more than pinwheels. And, I mostly blame my dear friend Erin for this obsession after making 120 pinwheels for the party to celebrate her wedding. (More on that later.)
Obsession three: wreaths. In the last six months I have made three wreaths (ruffle, egg, now this . . . ). Oh how I wish I had someone or something to blame this on . . .
These three obsessions came together in a glorious collision when I saw this from Neverland Nook.

Again, what’s a girl to do?
May I suggest . . . . this!
But look!! So pretty!!

This is so darling! Did you make the pinwheels or buy them? If you bought them, where are they from? Thanks!
Lisa Longley says
I made them :) I bought a whole pack of paper that was rainbow colors and patterns. However, be careful the paper you buy. The thicker it is, the harder it is to make into pinwheels :)
Ingrid says
This is so colourful, love to make one for my frontdoor!
ELEANOR GALLAGHER says
Love the wreath! Know how to make pinwheels. However, tried push pins, straight pins & brads. When pushed in styrofoam, will not stay in, fall out and sare too tight against form to spin. What am I doing wrong?
Hi Eleanor! Mine definitely don’t spin, but they do stay in there with just the pin. Sorry I can’t be more help!
Jan says
Would love to make this, but can’t seem to find solid color paper anywhere. Cardstock is too thick. Where did you find your paper? So cute!
Hi Jan! I got it all at Michaels. They seem to have an abundance of paper options!
Cathy says
I took your idea and used it for hanging pinwheel s for holidays.
