Several times a year I give my mom flowers or a floral gift. Recently, I found a pair of fan earrings she had given me. This discovery sparked the idea to create a fan with flowers, charms, and memories. Fans have many meanings-but for me they represent decorative touches in my childhood home. Seeing a fan on display reminds me to find a moment of calm, revisit a happy memory, or take time out for tea. These days it is the cold, sweet, southern kind as I frequent the historic section of town window shopping. I always imagine to spy a pastel hooped skirt and a fan.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eCardstock\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCrafter’s glue\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/rubber-art-stamps\"\u003eRubber stamps\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eColored tissue paper\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/prima-marketing-water-soluble-oil-pastel-crayons\"\u003eWater Soluble Oil Pastel Crayons\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNeedle\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEmbroidery floss\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/jewelry-making\"\u003eCharms\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEyelet Punch\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/ribbons-and-fibers\"\u003eSeam binding or ribbon\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch2\u003eInstructions:\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eOnline find a \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/tempting-template-Fanciful-Fan\"\u003efree Fan template\u003c\/a\u003e, print it and cut it out.

I punched holes using a Crop-A-Dile setting of ¾ of an inch so, all fan panels would align.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow add eyelets to all fan panels.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLayer your fan panels and loop seam binding or ribbon through the eyelets. Tie a square knot and trim ribbon. Ribbon size depends on what you prefer. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eElla Wilson is a Mixed Media artist who adores connecting her memories with various art forms.
