  9. Accordion fold each square. 
  10. Fold each accordion in half to make a crease.
  11. Use the glue stick to apply glue to one side of the accordion half. Glue to the other to create half of the pinwheel. 
  12. Do the same with the other accordion. 
  13. Apply glue along the long side of one of the halves and glue to the other to form a pinwheel. Pinch together until dry.
