How to make handmade paper windmills

The first article: making a small windmill

Today, I will teach you how to make a windmill. I'll bring square cardboard, straws, erasers, pins and scissors first. First, I took a square piece of cardboard, then folded it diagonally twice and pressed it hard. Then, cut the thread with scissors, but the cut is not complete. It needs to flow out 1 cm, unfold it, and then fix the blade with a pin. Finally, it is fixed on the straw. Look, a beautiful windmill is done!

Chapter 2: My Making-Small Windmill

In order to enrich my colorful living space, my father seldom rests at home today, so he proposed to teach me to make small works, and I readily agreed.

We thought about it and finally decided to make a small windmill. First of all, I chose a favorite orange cardboard from colorful cardboard. Because cardboard is rectangular, my father taught me how to fold it first, and then cut a standard square along the paper. Then, I folded the square into four standard triangles again, cut out four incomplete triangles by aiming at the center of the square with scissors, and then folded one side of each triangle toward the center. Then there was a windmill. Watching my father fix the two sides of the windmill with round plastic sheets, and finally inserting steel wires into it, my father also made the windmill into a bracket, which can also be used as a small ornament at home.

I am very happy to see this perfect little production in front of me.

Chapter 3: Making Small Windmills

Today, I saw a child playing with a windmill in the park. The windmill spins very fast. I looked envious and said to my mother, "I also want to have my own windmill." Mom said, "Then make one yourself."

As soon as I got home, I couldn't wait to take out a piece of blue wax paper and a thumbtack, and then I took out a small stick, scissors and glue stick. I cut the wax paper into squares first, then fold the squares into triangles, and then fold them into a small triangle. Then I opened the wax paper and cut it along the sides of each triangle until it was only one centimeter away from the center of the square. Then bend the right angles of the four triangles to the center of the square and stick them firmly with a glue stick. Finally, push a pin through the center of the square and nail it on a small stick. Remember not to nail it too tightly, or the windmill will not turn. I'm so happy that the windmill is finally finished.

I ran out of the house with a small windmill. The windmill turned very fast, which dazzled me. It's really interesting to make a windmill today. I will make more interesting small ones in the future.
