Christmas Lady Fan

hi, is there a picture of this somewhere so I can get an idea of what it should look like, or can you tell me what materials i would need to create the base? Thank you :)

I'd like to see what one looks like..if it's a small fan, I might be interested in trying this! I checked YouTube but the only fan tutorials I found were for folded Japanese fans.

The base of the blades are stiff card stock. They are cut individually and decorated. Then they are attached with ribbon to make it appear as if they open like the old Spanish fans ladies used to use. The blades are about 5 “ long. I did one for Valentine’s Day and it turned out nicely. I really don’t have a source that you can go to to see one. If you are interested send me your address and I will send you a pattern for the blades and you can see from that if you want to join in our not. Thanks!!

ok, I can picture this... I once had an ivory fan that was my grandmother's . I gave it to a friend's daughter who was born on my grandmother's birthday...the oddest thing, both the girl and my grandmother made prize winning flower arrangements! This gal worked a semester, went to college a semester, and graduated with a degree in horticulture after 6 years...really impressive that she didn't owe any money when she graduated and paid for her entire education herself... not that this has anything to do with anything...lol

I'd like to try - just don't want someone to have really high expectations! I swear I'll do my best... but I've never made one before, so....
