How to Make a Pop-Up Wind Spinner: Part 2

Video Transcript

Hi, I'm Karen for Expert Village. Now, we're going to go back to the top...that tends to roll up on me a little bit...and we're going to crease it at the diagonal. So we're going to place our straight edge on this corner and on that corner of each section. And we're going to crease it again. So, here you want to be pretty careful that you have it lined up in the right spot. And do the same thing...just hold the ruler or the straight edge firmly and rub your fingers along that edge. Then move to the next section. You want to make sure that you line up your ruler carefully and bend up the paper and crease it firmly. And you continue that all the way down the strip of paper. And you'll see it starts to curl up on you. You keep going...it takes a little bit of time, but it's a pretty spectacular looking thing considering it's made from just one strip of paper and a little bit of folding. It's nice to use for this a variegated paper. I've picked this one that has a variegated paper. Maybe even a two-sided...one color on one side and one color on the other because when it spins, it has a nice effect. They have such papers out nowadays. It's unlimited the different creative things you can do with paper. OK, we'll go all the way down to the bottom just creasing that on the diagonal. You want to make sure that your ruler is placed right at the corner so that we get a nice even diagonal crease all the down to the bottom. Now, you have a sheet of paper that is creased down and then creased on the diagonal all the way down. Now, we're going to fold that up and our creases are already there. So, you fold on each crease--straight, diagonal, straight, diagonal. And as you fold it, it's going to make a little circle. And we just keep folding that all the way like an accordion, back and forth. And as it goes, you see it's making like a little rosette almost. Back and forth, like an accordion. Just fold that last bit. Then all you need to do now, is just put a little hole in the end and attach your cord. And when it opens up for your recipient, it's a nice little decoration that will spin in the wind.
