Create a pinwheel garden

paper straws
flower pot
pebbles, glass beads, coffee beans, anything small and round and heavy
short flat pins or brads
1 pack of in a variety of colors

1. With one Post-it® Note at a time, cut from each corner toward the center. Make your cuts approximately 1.5" long, so they come near the center point without touching it.

2. Take every other corner and fold it into the center, without creasing the paper. (You can also use a little bit of hot glue to help keep these in place.)

3. Holding the corners in place, take a push pin or safety pin and push it through the center of your pinwheel.

4. Then, take a short flat pin and push into a paper straw, securely attaching your pinwheel.

5. Repeat this until you have as many pinwheels as you want.

6. Fill your flowerpot with pebbles or beads, and stick the pinwheels into the pot.

7. Pretty and colorful, you might even be tempted to place it on the porch. But be sure to enjoy your garden indoors!
