I don’t know what it is about this American holiday, but it is absolutely not complete without lots and lots of pinwheels. If you too have the obsession, I have a fun project for you! Below are the templates and tutorial for 3″ DIY printable pinwheels. Feel free to download and print as many times as you like. And if you want to go all out, you can purchase my coordinating 4th of July Printable Party!

Thanks so much for posting these. I have 4 grandsons, 3 of which like working on “projects” with grandma. They rage in age from 3-12. I think they’s get a kick out of trying to make these this year.
