Tempo addietro ho ricevuto in regalo da
Pia alcune piccole girandole di juta che mi piacciono moltissimo. Le ho usate
qui e
qui.
Adesso me ne è rimasta soltanto una e mi dispiace usarla... Odio restare senza le cose che mi piacciono
:) Così ho avuto l'idea di provare a farle.
Ho usato una striscia di juta, presa da un rotolo che ho comprato tempo addietro; per evitare lo sfilacciamento l'ho inamidata con acqua e zucchero, come faceva mia nonna
:D (3 bustine di zucchero in mezza tazza di acqua bollente - far raffreddare e lasciare a bagno per parecchie ore).
L'ho fatta asciugare ben distesa e l'ho tagliata a quadratini. Qui sotto si vede la juta prima e dopo il dolce trattamento
:D(N.B.: non è appiccicosa!) Con l'amido si ottiene lo stesso risultato, o anche migliore; io non ne avevo e quindi ho usato il "vecchio sistema"
:)
Poi ho fatto quattro tagli con le forbici e ho piegato le punte al centro, fissando con la colla forte. Mezza perla per rifinire... et voilà. Facile e velocissimo
:D
Le mie girandole non sono perfette come quelle avute da Pia, ma secondo me possono andare. Voi che ne dite?

I think you're incredibly clever Alice, very much so, I use a different recipe taught me also by an older lady with cornflour starch, you thicken it with warmed water and allow to cool. It works a treat too. 😊 Still use it on my doilies.
Thanks for sharing your inspiration!

These are so pretty you did a good job!
Great result Alice, love pinwheels.x♥[aNNie]
Well they look perfect pinwheels to me Alice! Wonderful tutorial. Your Grandmother was a very wise lady as I didn't know that was how you starched fabrics, very clever. You obviously take after your Grandmother having great ideas too :). Debra x
How cute are those pinwheels. I remember my avó using sugar too when she did not have corn starch. It's old fashioned but it works beautifully. I can't wait to see what you do with those little cuties. Have an amazing weekend, dear friend and wrap up warm!

When I saw this post I was thinking, there's those pinwheels I sent you. Wrong. These are the ones you made with mine as inspiration. I say mine, but they were bought in a store, not made by me. These look exactly the same. Or better:)
Well I think these look amazing, Alice! And what a clever idea to starch them - you achieved a beautiful result! I haven't tried making pinwheels yet - I love how these turned out!
oooh these are perfect - what a great idea
Thank you so much for sharing :o)
