Victorian Fan ornament
Materials needed:
Wired edge ribbon at least 2.5 inches
wide
Lace with a pretty edge
Pearl strands
Small silk/dried flowers
Sequins
Ribbons
Small decorative buttons
Hot glue or fabric glue
Directions:
~Fold the ribbon or lace accordion
style, the length of ribbon depends on how full you want your fan,
(there is no right or wrong size)
~While folded (if using lace) iron the lace, use a bit of spray
starch for stiffer, long lasting pleats if you like, secure one
end (not the decorative edge if you are using lace) with a couple
stitches or a staple
~Fluff out your fan, using glue, embellish the secured end with
pearl strands small silk/dried flowers sequins, long flowing
ribbons & bows or even small pretty buttons, use your
imagination and have fun!
This project is fast & fun, there is a huge selection of
ribbons & lace to choose from, to match your own Christmas
decor! I myself do not make hangers for the fans, it is much
easier to just tuck them in between the branches and serve as
pretty little fillers, they can also adorn the outside of a
wrapped Christmas gift.
