 Fan Folly 2024 Part 6

The Glue has dried and the Card has stuck together nicely. Now for a spot of Decoration

Add Lace

I sorted through my collection of Lace and found some Red Lace roughly an Inch Wide. I started to Add it to the Fan. This wasn’t easy for a couple of reasons. One is because the Fan has Curved Edges. 

Another is in order to get it Equal Lengths both Sides I am having to work from the Back. I place the Lace Under the part of the Fan to Decorated. I then add a small bit of Glue then Fold the Material on top.

Lace Pinned

The Further along I got trying to add the Lace the more difficult it became. I decided to add Pins to fix the Lace in place whilst it dried. I left the extra material around the two Corners Unglued 

Finished Fan

Once one Side of the Fan had Lace Stuck I turned it over and did the same with the opposite Side. Once both Sides were Stuck down I could move on to the Corners.

I Folded the excess Material over and stuck it down with Glue. I had to wait until Two Corners were sorted before I could turn over and repeat on the other side.

The Finished Fan isn’t as neat as I would like but it is Functional and my my mum loved it. At the end of the day I can only do what I can with the resources I have laid around.  I think for my next project I will do something from a Kit to make life a bit easier.
