"PENWHEEL"

Functional and decorative. My son is always running off with my pen, so I decided to craft one he is less likely to do so with and decorate the desk all at the same time. Items used:

• 1 stick ink pen
• 1 push pen
• 1 spool of thread
• Scissors
• Printer - pick out a pattern/template at

http://www.craftjr.com/paper-crafts-printable-pinwheels/

• Markers

Pick out the template that you want to use - I used the ocean print one, but didn't use a color printer http://www.craftjr.com/paper-crafts-printable-pinwheels/ocean-print-pinwheel/ .

Cut out the template. If you used used a black and white printer, color both sides of the paper - if a color printer is used, just color in the back of the template.

Fold acording to the directions on the template, put a push pin in the middle and push it into the end of the pen, the remove the cap and put the tip of the ink pen in a spool of thread.
