I took the advice someone sent on this list to add a blob of Model Magic to
the top of the straw, allow it to dry, and poke the T-pin through that. I then
slid the straw (regular sized)over 12" long wooden dowels (or skewers) which
will be "planted". Those can be re-used every year. I also used the suggestion
of adding the beads in between the layers of the pinswheel to help it spin.
Tried it outside yesterday. Works great!
