Product description
The first sample is identified as item number 12030. It is a pinwheel that is composed of two wheels attached together. The outer parts of the wheels are made of a thin metal ring covered with a thin strip of fabric. The wheels measure fifteen inches in diameter. Different colored Mylar plastic strips are fastened in the center with a plastic fastener. The Mylar strips are then attached to the outer ring by being sewn to the fabric. The plastic pinwheel sticks come in two pieces that measure approximately fifteen inches long. When fully assembled, the pinwheel is thirty-seven inches in height. The wind causes the pinwheels to spin, revealing a colorful display. The second sample is identified as item number 12075. This is a pinwheel made with a wooden circle on a wooden stick. Five four-inch Mylar pinwheels are attached to the outer edge of the wooden circle and one pinwheel is placed in the center. They are held in place on the wooden circle with plastic fasteners. The wooden circle has cut out holes that allow air to flow through, causing the pinwheels to spin. The full height of this pinwheel is twenty-three inches. In our opinion, the Mylar pinwheels are decorative articles that would be used in outdoor areas around the home. The samples are returned as you requested.
