YOU’LL NEED 3 A5 pieces of paper, popsicle sticks, loom band, glue
WHAT TO DO
1. Stylise your pieces of paper, if you wish, by drawing, stencilling or stamping a design. 2. Mark 1cm spaces on back of paper for kids to use as a guide when folding. 3. Accordion fold each piece of paper. 4. Fold each accordion in half. 5. Using a glue stick, hot glue, or PVA, adhere each fan piece together until you have one seam left.
6. Glue a popsicle stick to each side. (We used PVA and allowed to dry for a few minutes with loom band around to hold in place.) 7. Use a loom band to keep your fan closed when not in use, and to keep the stick together when the fan is open. 8. Coolness!
*WE BOUGHT BIGGER POPSICLE STICKS TO TRY, BUT REGULAR ONES WOULD ALSO WORK PERFECTLY AND MAKE THE FAN A BIT MORE COMPACT FOR TINIER HANDS. 120
