{ holding on the the summer! pinwheels tutorial/ moulin à vents origami: pas à pas!}

Hi everyone!! today i am doing something new!
I am really into pinwheels this year and i saw a layout in a french scrapbooking magazine with these 3 D pinwheels on: they are origami , that is folded paper !
I did this layout using them , about my boy's birhtday!





It took me some time to find out how to do them so I want to spare you, my lovely readers , the time and give you a humble and easy tutorial to do them yourself!

start with a square and fold it along the diagonals: fold it, open it and fold it again in another direction.

commencez avec un carré, pliez-le successivement sur toutes les diagonales.


then fold along the horizontal lines

you should end up with these folds:
à la fin vous obtenez ces plis:

Then pinch the corners and fold the middle of the sides inwards:
puis pincer les pointes et plier le milieu des côtés vers l'intérieur:

oh gosh! I guess if I ever I want to do more tutorials , i will need to have my nails manucured !!:):)

Easy !! and it will add dimension to your creations! if you don't pin it down with a brad , you can journal inside and leave it for your future readers to open!
If ever you try them out, please leave me a link so i can see what you have created!


bonjour à tous! aujourd'hui je m'essaie au pas à pas! je vous livre ma découverte de ces petis moulins 3 D origami, dont j'ai vu le modèle sur Esprit scrapbooking. Dans le mag il n'y a pas d'explication et j'ai mis un petit moment pour trouver l'astuce (pas trop longtemps quand même:):)) ! alors , pour vous épargner à vous, mes adorables lecteurs, le temps de recherche, je vous offre un petit "reportage photo"!
super facile et trop mignon , non!
Si vous ne mettez pas de brads au centre , vous pouvez écrire votre journaling dedans! une belle cachette!
si jamais mon pas à pas vous a été utile, et que vous les utilisez sur une page, laissez moi un lien pour que j'aille voir votre création!


And i also have this project to share: It is this week's challenge over at the studio challenges: you had to scrap your home! and our home was recently in that state:
