You want to create a glorious program everyone will remember but you are afraid it is a waste of money. Combat the waste with making your program resourceful during your ceremony - Make a Fan!
Step 1
Gather your materials. Having an array of art supplies will truly allow you to add your own touch and style. Also you will want to have a heavier stock of paper to make the fan more substantial.
Step 2
Decide it will be folded and gathered, which will affect the look of your design and be more time consuming or if it will be a paddle fan, in which case you will need a popsicle stick or tongue depressor to act as the handle.
Step 3 (If you are making a folded fan)
Make one-inch folds to complete your paper fan. Holding the vertical edge of your paper, fold it in one inch. Press along the crease to make sure it is defined. Keeping the folded piece pressed together, fold the paper underneath one inch. Continue this process folding the paper over and under until the entire piece of paper is made of one-inch folds. Press all the folds together firmly for a moment and release.
Step 4
Folded Version - Staple the bottom of the fan together. Press the folds of your paper together and use the stapler to put two staples on the bottom of the piece of paper. Release the top of the paper. You now have a personalized paper fan.
If you choose the paddle fan version you will just need to cut out the shape you will like the fan to be (if you do not want a square) – Glue both sides of the paper together.
Step 5
Add any extra personalizations such as ribbon or fabric for an added touch & you are done.
