You’ve Been Booed!
Every Halloween, my girls fill up bags with candy, print out an outline of a ghost and “Boo” their friends.
They ring the bell and hide in the bushes while laughing uncontrollably waiting for someone to answer. Usually, the kids run outside searching for the culprit and a chase ensues.
Why let the kids have all the fun?
I decided to make my own Boo paper pinwheels.
How to Make Paper Pinwheels
I love this Martha Stewart Cut and Fold Punch for making the cutest paper 3-D pinwheels – you can make them in 3-1/2 inch, 6-inch or cut straight lines
1) Following directions in the box, make 6-inch pinwheels on any card stock or scrapbook paper
* try using double sided paper for a two color pinwheel or make 3 1/2-inch pinwheels to overlap the larger ones
2) Spell out your favorite word with stencils and craft paint
3) Glue wooden skewers to the back of each pinwheel and let dry
4) Stick pinwheels in flower pots or anywhere you please
* try making a pinwheel banner too
A simple fold of each cut out creates the coolest 3-D pinwheels!
Consider yourself officially booed!
Hi! With the song lyric plate, can china be used or does it need to be porcelain?
Thanks so much!

Any non porous surface should work Stacy – maybe have it cure by air instead of in the oven.
Oh- that looks like fun. I love the idea of ringing a BOO doorbell and the chase ensuing. What great fun. xo Diana
I love the paper pin wheels, what a beautiful craft. I could use these for a variety of different decorating ideas!
I have never seen a Cut and Fold Punch before. My daughter would love to try this
Your Boo Sign is so cute , Kelly!
