  • Question
    Is this done with construction paper?
    Community Answer
    Yes. You just need to fold it harder. Just follow the steps, and you’re done, but it won’t appear very well.

    How can I make a hole in the sticks without using a drill?
    Community Answer
    A hole/paper puncher can be used for putting holes in the sticks. You can also use a nail and hammer.

  • Question
    In picture number 5 (craft stick photo fan) it's mentioned that the sticks are supposed to be kept together, but in the pictures it isn't so - so what do I do now?
    Community Answer
    The pictures are just a representation. You need to keep the sticks touching each other in this step or your picture won't lay out properly when the fan is done.

  • Question
    If I follow the last method, will I be able to open it without untying the ribbon?
    Community Answer
    Yes. The ribbon is to hold the sticks together. If you untie the ribbon, the fan will come apart.

  • Question
    Do I need to use a photo?
    Community Answer
    No, you don't have to. You can opt to do the photo fan, but you can choose to do a simpler one instead if you want.

  • Question
    Do I decorate first or last?
    Community Answer
    Whatever you prefer, I've found it easier to decorate first though. If you want to decorate last, you will have to go over the folds and that's pretty difficult.
    Thanks! We're glad this was helpful.

  • Question
    Can I do a different fan?
    Community Answer
    You could make a Chinese fan. All you have to do is cut out a circle of paper, cut the radius, attach lolly sticks, and fold on!

  • Question
    Can I do it without a puncher or a drill?
    Community Answer
    Use a nail and hammer to make the holes at the end of the sticks. It really works for those holes, just make sure the nail is sharp enough.

    How can I do the paper without the photograph?
    Community Answer
    Just use regular paper or a drawing on paper. The photograph is only if you want to see a photo.
