Materials needed: Step 1

Measure out paper the length of your craft stick.

With your 6" strips of paper, start to accordion-fold each row of paper to desired length.

Apply glue on each side of craft stick and place in the center (back side) of the folded paper.

Step 4

After glue on the glue stick has set for 5 or so minutes. Apply glue on the bottom of each side of the fan. Then clip wet edges until dry (about 15 minutes).

Step 5

While glue is drying on fan, cut about a .5 inch by 5-6 inch strip of paper (will use to wrap around glued base of fan)

Step 6 (optional)

You can paint craft sticks to add more character to craft stick.

Step 6

Unclip fan and apply glue to the strip of paper. Wrap strip around tightly to add extra support to base. Let dry.
