Clothespin Pinwheels

These Clothespin Pinwheels from Martha are a cute decoration for a 4th of July picnic:


But they can also come in handy.  You can use them to clip the tablecloth to the table if it is windy to keep the table cloth from flying up.

If your table is too thick, add a little weight to the clips and just clip them directly to the table cloth.


Pinwheel How To:

Cut two 5-inch squares in different colors from patterned paper. Glue back-to-back; let dry. Draw diagonal lines from corner to corner. Make a 3-inch cut along each line. Fold every other point toward center; glue. Affix to clothespin with map tack.
