A little bit above the center, make a strong dark dot with a small circle around it. 

With the brass ring on the dot, make a a circle at with the first available hole. 
 This will be where the blades begin. 


With the brass ring on the dot, make another larger circle at 4 mm. This is how far the windmill blades will go out. 




How do windmills work??

This is a very nice and peaceful video to play with music and windmills while students are working on their pictures. It is more visual and inspirational rather than educational.
