The new Vintage Hollywood paper and Venetian Fan Blade fan blades sets were the inspiration for this project. The fan blades work great for creating either a fan for display purposes or a working fan.


NEW COLLAGE SHEETS
This sheet contains 8 lovely ladies in
1920’s fashion with 7 fan designs in various sizes.
This sheet contains 19 sassy ladies from
the 1920s.

DECORATING THE FAN BLADES
I started by covering both sides of a
set of large and small fan blades with the Vintage Hollywood decorative paper.
Next, I used a black marker to draw a
border around the blades.
I glued the smaller fan blades to the
bottom of the larger blades.
I then punched a hole in one of the
blades and used it as a template to mark and punch the holes in the remaining
blades.
I cutout fans from the Deco
Dames Collage Sheet and attached a Abez Drop/Connector to each fan.I used a frame from the Elegant Frames Download set backed by more of the decorative paper to showcases lades from the Deco Dames Collage Sheet.
I glued the framed ladies to the fan
blades and the added the fans. To give
the fans more sparkle I added colored rhinestones.
ASSEMBLING THE FAN
I decided to glue the fan blades in
place instead of making it a working fan as this fan was for display. With gluing the blades in place you can add
more dimensional embellishments.
Notice how the blades are attached with the
middle blade on top, followed by the blade on the right, then the blade on the
left, then the last blade on the right and finally the last blade on the left.
NOTE:
If you want to learn how to connect the blades of the fan together to make a
working fan checkout the links to other fan tutorials at the bottom of this
post.
To secure the fan at the bottom I used a
button and wire. On the back of the fan, I folded the wire, glued it in place and covered it with a piece of filigree.
