Quick answer: Make a grape-colored paper pinwheel with a diagonal-cut square of paper, a central fastener and a straw or dowel support.

Cut and decorate

Start with a 6-inch square. Draw purple circles like grapes and add small green leaves; mark the center.

Form the blades

Cut from each corner toward the center, stopping about 1 inch short. Bring one corner from each cut section to the middle.

Attach safely

An adult can secure the four points with a paper fastener through the center and mount it loosely to a straw or handle. Leave room for rotation.

Test the airflow

Blow gently from the side or place in a light breeze. If it sticks, loosen the fastener slightly.

Display

Use as a table decoration away from candles and food. Do not give sharp-pin versions to small children.

The bottom line

Make a grape-colored paper pinwheel with a diagonal-cut square of paper, a central fastener and a straw or dowel support.
