Preparation materials: First, you need to prepare a square piece of paper, scissors, pins and sticks. Choosing thicker paper can make windmills more durable.
2. origami: fold the square paper diagonally in half, and then fold it again to divide the paper into four equal triangles.
3. Paper-cutting: Starting from the apex of each triangle, cut about two-thirds of the length to the center, and be careful not to cut it completely. In this way, the eight blades of the windmill are formed. Be careful when using scissors, and don't let children do this step without the supervision of adults.
4. unfold the paper: unfold the paper carefully, and you will see that eight leaves have been evenly distributed in the four corners of the square.
5. Fix the windmill: pass the pin through the center of the paper to ensure that all blades can rotate freely. Then, fix the other end of the pin on the rod. When fixing the windmill, make sure that the pin passes through the center of the paper and is firmly fixed to prevent the windmill from falling off when it rotates. The length of the stick can be adjusted according to your needs.
6. Finish the windmill: Now, your windmill has been finished. You can blow it gently or put it in the wind to watch the blades of the windmill turn.
