Hello Pebbles friends! It’s Monique with you today to share my first Midnight Haunting project! I love about this new Pebbles’ Halloween collection because it has so many Fall-related papers and embellishments! Fall is my favorite season of the year and I always look forward to it.

When I saw this new Midnight Haunting collection, I couldn’t wait to dig in and create something! Here is the first of – I’m sure – many Fall projects to come: a bouquet of “Not So Scary Pinwheels”!

Ever since the kids were small, we have had a little corner in our living room that we like to decorate according to the season. This Fall bouquet of pinwheels is now standing on our Fall-themed cabinet in the living room.

To create this bouquet of pinwheels, I selected all the Autumn papers and embellishments from the Midnight Haunting collection and the Pinwheel Punch Board from We R Memory Keepers.

I hadn’t used this particular We R punch board before and I loved how easy it was to work with! In no time at all, I punched and folded 10 pinwheels!

Look how awesome they look! For the center of the pinwheels, I used brads from my stash.

Because the collection is double-sided and the both the A and B sides are fabulous, the papers are just perfect for a project like this where you see both sides of the page.

I adhered the pinwheels to paper straws by folding the “legs” of the brad around it. I then stuck them in little glass bottles filled with soft sand (in The Netherlands we call this “bird sand”):

The glass bottles were decorated with die-cuts and stickers and a bit of twine:

Hello everyone! Eva Pizarro here, bringing you a quick gift — pinwheel gift boxes — inspired by our week’s theme: Memorial Day. In Chile we don’t celebrate Memorial Day, but our flag colors are also red, white, and blue! I thought I could make some pretty party favors for our next independence day celebration.

To make the pinwheel gift boxes, I used two punch board by our friends at We R Memory Keepers: The Pinwheel Punch Board and the 1,2,3 Punch board and some red white and blue supplies by different Pebbles’ lines.

My pinwheels are 3 inch wide and doubled. Just follow the board instructions, it is very easy! The blue paper I used is from the Sunshiny Days collection, and the red one is from our last Valentine collection, My Funny Valentine.

I held my pinwheels in place using blue and red brads.

As sentiments, I used the “Thank You” stickers found in this Simple Life booklet. You get 42 stickers in this booklet and it is perfect for card making!

I created the boxes with the 1,2,3 Punch Board, using the same red and blue papers. The white paper has tiny hearts embossed and it is from our sister brand, Bazzill Paper.

Red, White & Blue Pinwheel Decor

Hello there! Amy from The Happy Scraps here today and I’m excited to be sharing my newest Red, White & Blue Pinwheel Decor piece with you today. I love to decorate for Independence Day and the new America the Beautiful collection is perfect for it.

Create this Red, White & Blue Pinwheel Decor to use as a centerpiece or decor for Independence Day. @thehappyscraps show you how with the #americathebeautiful collection from @pebblesinc.

To start off, I grabbed the Patriotic Posies Paper and used the gift bag punch board to make a little bag for my pinwheels. I cut my paper to be 7″ x 12″ and followed the instruction on the gift bag punch board to make my bag. I used the Sticky Thumb Two-Sided adhesive tape to put my bag together. I embellished the front with the fireworks and Pledge of Allegiance from the America the Beautiful Ephemera Die-Cuts. I hot glued a piece of floral foam into the bottom of my bag, so I’d be able to stick the pinwheels down into it.

Once I had my bag done, I started on the pinwheels. I cut my paper into 4″ squares and followed the instructions on the pinwheel punch board.

I punched the corners, lined up the paper with the size I started with. I punched the center hole and cut where it needed to be cut. Because I was layering the pinwheels, I followed the instructions for cutting the second piece.

I got all my papers cut, got my pinwheel parts out, and started assembling them. I placed the back piece of paper on the back, and layered the front piece at a diagonal on the top. I put it on the plastic part for the pinwheel, then added the front pinwheel part.

I pulled the back paper through the cuts on the front, pulled all the punched holes to the center and put them on the dowel piece. I place the front cap on, added a star sticker, and put the paper straw in the back.

Once I got all of my pinwheels made, I put them in my bag.

I had the perfect spot for it up on my shelf next to the rest of my Independence Day decor.

I love the way the pinwheels look all done up! They are SO fun!

Even though the bag was really simple to make and put together, as well as add the embellishments to it, I love the way it turned out. I was excited when I found the Pledge of Allegiance in the pack.

Pinwheel Flowers

Hi Pebbles fans! Amanda here today. Spring has sprung in my neck of the woods and I couldn’t be happier! I am just giddy every time I see a new bunch of flowers blooming along the side of the road and I love nothing more than fresh cut flowers in the house. Second only to fresh flowers, I also love crafting bouquets of paper flowers that withstand the test of time (and kids). These pinwheel flowers are easy to make and will make your house extra cheery.

Pinwheel flowers make a fun, no-fuss centerpiece or piece of home decor. If used as a party centerpiece, you could even give away the pinwheels as favors at the end of the party. The Pinwheel Punch Board takes all of the hassle out of making pinwheels, too. Simply follow the guide, and voila! Pinwheels!

These pinwheels are secured with a coordinating brad, you could easily make them functioning pinwheels as well.

Filling containers with rice is my favorite way to hold paper flowers in place. It makes it super easy to rearrange the flowers until your bouquet just right. And I didn’t even adhere the leaves to the stems. I simply freehand cut some leaves and stuck them right in the rice. Create a cute (and inexpensive) container by wrapping an empty jar or can with a piece of patterned paper.

The yellow fringe tape around the center of the flower adds a realistic touch and helps create cohesiveness in a mixed color bouquet.

After some experimenting, I found it was easier to adhere the fringe tape to the flower centers before I assembled the pinwheels. Adhere a short strip of adhesive yellow fringe around one of the holes in pinwheel Part B. This will be the last pinwheel that you fold over when making your pinwheel.

Wrap a couple of layers of fringe (or more) around the circle. Stack pinwheel Part B on top of pinwheel Part A.

Start folding your pinwheel by folding in the wing closest to the yellow fringe. Continue folding in the wings until you get to the last one with the fringe.

Hold everything together with your fingers and secure with a coordinating brad.
