description Pinwheel Overview
An origami pinwheel is a folded-paper model designed to rotate around a central point when moved by air or spun by hand. The form is made from a square sheet through repeated diagonal and corner folds, then secured so its angled blades can turn. It is commonly used as a beginner origami project or paper toy because it combines a small number of folds with a visible mechanical effect, although the exact construction varies between instructions.
