Top Tip
To make the layers for background, cut a rectangle 8cm x 12 for in the middle, then make the rectangles underneath progressively bigger; 9xm x 13cm, 11cm x 15cm, 12cm x 16cm.
How to Make
- To make a folded fan, cut a rectangle 12cm x 17cm from patterned paper (a quarter from a Spring Patterned sheet).
- Place the paper flat onto your work surface or on a cutting mat, positioned with one of the short edges at the bottom (portrait). Fold up the edge of the paper 1cm then make a crease all the way across. Turn the paper over and make a fold in the opposite direction. Continue to fold the paper all the way up to make a concertina, turning the paper over after each fold, with each fold approximately the same depth. Fold the concertina in half to make a ‘V’ shape.<

- Fold piece of glitter card in half then trim off the ends and sides to make a background measuring 14cm x 18cm. Cut several rectangles in different sizes from red, gold, or patterned paper and stick them in a stack onto the background with double-sided tape.to create a layered effect.
- Lightly brush glue over the folds on the back of the fan then press it in position onto the background and leave to dry.
