Materials You Need To Purchase:
Bamboo Fan
1 8-1/2" x 11" Patterned vellum paper
1 8-1/2" x 11" Solid paper in a coordinating color
Scissors
Glue dots or glue strips (do not use regular glue or tape)
Computer and printer
1-1/2" wide colored double-faced satin ribbon
Instructions:
Using a glue strip cut to the width of the ribbon, affix one end of the ribbon to the neck of the fan. Wrap around
the length of the fan's handle. Adhere the other end of the ribbon to the bottom back of the handle. For a clean look,
make sure the ribbon's end is at the back of the fan away from view.
Design your ceremony program using your personal computer. Print it directly on to decorative vellum paper available at your local
arts and crafts supply store. Overlay the vellum paper on top of the solid color paper. Having a solid color paper underneath
the vellum makes the text easier to read. Using your scissors, cut around the ceremony program. In this example, I chose
to cut around the program in a wave-like fashion to match the beach-theme wedding I envision for this idea.
Using a glue strip at the top and bottom of the vellum paper, stick it to the solid paper beneath it. Again, use two
glue strips to adhere the 2-layered ceremony program to the fan itself. I found that glue dots or glue strips adhere
nicely to the natural palm leaves of this fan.
