Let's make a Paper Propeller - Windmill - PinWheel

DiceForge asked "Can you make a paper propeller". I wasn't quite sure what sort of propeller was required so I did a quick YouTube search and found a great video. I made on following the instructions and it worked. I then made my own version for this video. Several people have commented on what this should be called. I called it a propeller because that was what I was asked for and what I found when I searched for it, but these toys are known by several different names so feel free to call it what you like. I find more videos if I search for windmill and even more if I search for PinWheel. I cannot answer comments from people who have blocked replies, so if you don't get a reply to your question that may be the reason. It is probably worth reading my video description first because the answer may already be there.

OK, I enjoy them too. If anybody else likes them, that is a bonus. I like to keep my work as simple and basic as possible so that it can be copied easily and improved by anybody who wants to try themselves. I recycle or repurpose items rather than buy new and when I do buy I like to keep it cheap. /user/GrandadIsAnOldMan
