Spring Pinwheel Earrings

     Spring is here, although if you live in Maine like I do, you wouldn't be able to tell.  Welcome the change of season with some fun paper pinwheel earrings.

Materials:
*Patterned paper
*2 mini buttons
*2 jump ring
*Ear wire
*Head pin
*All purpose adhesive
*Scissors
*Round nosed pliers
*Flat nosed pliers
*Small beads

Directions:
*It's somewhat difficult to verbally describe the steps needed to make these earrings, so I've included a picture below showing the necessary folding steps in addition to written directions.
*Cut out a small square from patterned paper (approximately 1.5" x 1.5").
*Fold the paper in half diagonally with the pattern side facing in.  Crease and unfold, then repeat the procedure with the other diagonal.  You should end up with something like the top right picture below.
*Cut along one of the diagonal folds 1/4 of the way in and then fold over as shown in the bottom left picture.
*Repeat with the remaining sides to get the bottom right picture.

*Repeat the entire procedure for a second square of paper to form a second pinwheel.
*Glue a small button in the center of each pinwheel.
*Poke a small hole in each of the pinwheels using a needle or similar implement.
*Pry open the jump rings with the pliers and slip each one through the hole in its respective pinwheel, then close the jump rings.
*Cut the "head" off two head pins, then curl the ends and clamp to the jump ring.
*Slide small beads onto the head pins, then create a loop at the top of each head pin and attach each one to its respective ear wire.
