When summer comes, we all need something to cool us down, and a fan can be the perfect DIY project to do just that. Not only can it be practical, but it can also be a beautiful decorative item that can add to your home decor. Here’s a guide on how to make a paper fan:

Materials Needed:

– Paper (decorative or plain)
– Scissors
– Glue
– Popsicle stick or chopstick

Instructions:

Step 1: Start with a rectangular piece of paper. The size of the paper depends on how big you want your fan to be. However, a 8.5 by 11 inch standard sheet works perfectly.

Step 2: Fold the paper like a fan, accordion style. Start by folding one end about 1 to 1.5 inches wide, then flip the paper over and fold it again from the opposite end. Keep folding the paper until you reach the other end. Make sure each fold is about the same size.

Step 3: Once you’ve folded the paper like a fan, hold the bottom of the folds in place and fold it in half, creasing it with your fingers.

Step 4: Use scissors to cut the ends of the folded paper to your desired shape, such as rounded or pointed. Make sure to cut through all the layers of paper to create a neat end.

Step 5: Open up the fan and glue the two ends. You can use any type of glue, but it is recommended to use a hot glue gun or a stapler. Hold the two ends together for about a minute or until the glue dries.

Step 6: Now attach the popsicle stick or chopstick to the bottom of the fan. Glue it to the centre of the bottom of the fan and hold it in place until the glue dries. This will act as the handle of the fan.

Step 7: Decorate your fan. You can use markers, paint, stickers, or even ribbons to add a pop of color or to personalize it to your liking. Furthermore, you can add some fringe to the bottom of the fan for some extra pizzazz!

Conclusion:

Making a paper fan is not only easy but also a fun way to cool yourself down while also being creative. Moreover, paper fans make for a great decorative item, you can use them for events or just to add something colorful to your room decor. By following the above-mentioned steps, you can create your very own paper fan. Make sure to personalize it as per your taste and enjoy the breeze!
