How to make this two-colored pinwheel

Stick the two square sheets of paper together.
Using the ruler, draw the two diagonals of the square.
Then, make a dot on every center of the 4 lines going from the center of the square to the corners.
Cut the square from these corners until the dots.
Put some glue on the middle of the square.
Fold every second point to the middle. Glue them again if you need to.
Ask an adult to make a hole with the thumb tack at the center, through the points.
Pass a piece of wire through the hole.
String a bead on the wire at the front.
Pass the wire again through the hole, but not through the bead.
On the other side, string the other bead on both pieces of wire.
Fasten the stick to the bead using the wire left.
To make sure it won't move, and that you won't hurt yourself, put some tape around the wire.
