    Why do I glue and not tape?
    Community Answer
    You could tape, but glue will ensure longevity and durability. It also makes for a more even weight distribution.

  • Question
    How do I make a pinwheel without a map pin?
    Community Answer
    You can't. You don't need a map pin specifically, but without some kind of pin, your pinwheel won't stay together.

  • Question
    How long does the paper last on the pinwheel?
    Community Answer
    It can last a long time if you keep it indoors. Do not let it fade in the sun or get wet.

  • Question
    Should I use white glue or can I use a glue stick?
    Community Answer
    You should use hot glue from a hot glue gun. Hot glue will last much longer than normal glue. If you don't have hot glue, you can use white glue. Warning - it will take a long time to dry.

  • Question
    Is it mandatory to use a bead when making a pinwheel?
    Community Answer
    No, it's not mandatory. It is possible to do it without a bead, but without the bead, the paper won't spin as smoothly because it is right up against the wood. There are other ways to keep the paper from the wood, but a bead is the easiest.

  • Question
    Do I absolutely need the bead, or can I make it without the bead and get the same result?
    Community Answer
    If you don't use the pin, the pinwheel won't spin as easily as it would with the pin.
