We love pretty and easy do-it-yourself projects! This one will help spruce up any space you are using for your event! These paper fans also go by paper rosettes and can be found at craft stores like Paper Source or Michael's to purchase. If you want to save some money and have an array of colors and patterns to choose from then make them yourself! We'll show you all the steps in today's blog post!
Let's get started!
First to make the large paper fans you will need:
12"x12" Paper
A Paper Trimmer OR Scissors
Scoring Board OR Your Hands will do just fine!
Hot Glue Gun with Hot Glue Sticks
To make the large fans...
which will be 12" in diameter we need 3 pieces of cardstock or paper in the same color/pattern.
Trim the edges of your paper if there is a barcode edge like ours. If not then start folding or scoring your paper into an accordion with spacing at every 1".
Once your three pieces are folded like this, fold them in half. This is what you'll end up with - look at the pic below!
Use your glue gun to join the centers together first, then glue the edges together and join them!
At this point, once you're almost done gluing if you want to hang your fans instead of taping them to a wall we recommend gluing a string or a very thin wire (like floral wire) to this center part before gluing it shut. This way you can nicely hang your fans.
To make the smaller fans...
Which will be 6 inches in diameter use 1 piece of 12"x12" card stock cut into 4 pieces.
Here are our squares!
Fold each square into an accordion and glue the centers like we did with our large fans!
Again, glue your edges together to form your fan!
This is what it looks like when it's all done!
