the fan!



really cute..really fun...and very easy to burn yourself.

multiple times.

remember old school fans? you know..the things you did when you were bored instead of playing angrybirds/dsi/texting/readingonyourkindle/etc......

same basic idea.....but since it's ribbon/fabric you have to glue as you go or it won't stay as a fan...
if you glue both areas it won't expand nicely..it will stay nice and snug and you will have to use yards of ribbon.


to keep it all together i keep a pin in it so it's not a hot fan mess.....

then i just cut a circle to glue it on to..(my sewing machine was plugged in right by me..i.e only reason it's sewed...)
just hot glue the fan around

i ended up adding a bead and some extra fabric



or you could glue it right down the middle and make bows...

this one was 12 inches..and pretty full...
so i made this green one (6 in long strip)




i used the fray edged on this one....
