How to Use Wind Spinners
Wind spinners are decorative hanging ornaments that can be made from plastic, metal, wood or ribbon and hung anywhere they might catch a breeze. Also known as twirlers, pinwheels and whirligigs, spinners originated from windmills. They delight and mesmerize as they pirouette on the wind. Advancements in technology allow for precision laser cuts enabling wind spinners to reflect both sunlight and moonlight. Wind spinners make wonderful gifts or just simply as a treat for yourself.
