Paper Pinwheel Banner

I really liked the way the paper pinwheels turned out so I decided to make the other pinwheel craft that I saw on a craft blog which sadly I can't find again. So if the owner of that blog happens to read this I'm really sorry and I'm not trying to steal your idea or call it my own idea.

That being said here is a quick tutorial on how to make the banner!

First I got some wooden clothespins and modge podged some Halloween themed paper on top of them. I didn't take pictures of that process because it is pretty straight forward. When they're done they look like this:
Secondly I made four more pinwheels following the tutorial I previously posted about. Two of them were large ones and the other two were smaller. I again used the whole puncher to make a cute circle to cover up the not so pretty part in the middle where all the little fans meet.

Third glue the ribbon to the back of the large pinwheels and then attach the clothespins. For the party I will be using the clothespins to pin up some family pictures but you could use them to pin up whatever you wish. This is also easy to do for any other occasion, just use a different themed paper/ribbon.

The end result looks like this (please ignore my messy table):
