Summer Pinwheels
Hi, everyone! Can you believe it's mid-July already? It's the height of the summer, and that means all kinds of beach activities, vacations, and parties. Are you creating party décor this year? Follow along as I show you some fun party decorations created with Rinea Foiled Papers.
This month we are partnering with Floracraft and Petaloo. I received some fun Styrofoam cubes and beautiful flowers.

Pinwheels are one of the summer's iconic items, so I wanted to create centerpieces with pinwheels. I placed Ruby/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper on an older/less sticky Cricut mat and cut out a pinwheel. The older/less sticky mat allows the foils to be removed easily from the mat.
I love how easily the pinwheel cut. All I had to do was form it and add it to a stick.
I made a bunch of pinwheels using Sapphire/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper, Blush/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper, Emerald/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper, and Violet/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper. Since the foils are double sided, you can choose how to assemble each pinwheel. Using brads, I adhered Petaloo flowers to the centers of the smaller pinwheels. Check out all these fun pinwheels I created. The sizes are 4", 6" and 12". I decided to use the larger pinwheels as votive holders.
The larger pinwheels were die cut from Copper/Copper Glossy Foiled Paper and Emerald/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper using the Crafter's Rolls. Placing the foil on my Cricut mat, I cut the Foiled Papers to fit, then cut them at pinwheels 12".
As you can see, the larger size dies also cut easily.
I painted the Floracraft Styrofoam cubes with pink paint and spritzed with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist.
Next, I wrapped a ribbon around each cube and added a bow created with the Bowdabra.
I placed the picks in the cubes so that they can be prominently displayed on a table.

What great centerpieces these make for a summer gathering and so much fun to create!
