A&H: Celebration of "ah, that's love" ~DIY Paper Fan

A&H decided to have the ROM ceremony to be held on the same day on our wedding day, 20th September 2014, at the 3rd floor pool side at Holiday Inn Melaka.

Since it's gonna be an outdoor ceremony, there might be a possibility for either raining, or we all gotto suffer under the big hot sun. In terms of raining kind concern, we were lucky enough as Holiday Inn Melaka pool side has the glass shade where guests can sheltered underneath.

So, to get ourselves prepare for the Mr. Sunny, we decided to diy a hand fan for every guest. Few things to prepare as  below:

1. A5 art card (or you may get A4 art card, then separate it into half which will give you 2 A5 card as well :p)
2. Wooden craft stick
3. Double sided tape (craft glue)
4. Scissor
5. Satin ribbon

This is indeed super easy. After creating the image you want in either Photoshop, Microsoft Words or whatever software you are comfortable with, test print on a piece of paper with the size you desire. If everything is fine then, let's start the printing job!



After you are done with the printing, fold the printing card into half (as per shown in the picture).


Place as many as of the double sided tape on the blank side especially at the edge of the paper.





Enhance the glue or double sided tape on the part where you have the wooden craft stick place on.

Adhere both side of the card. And last but not least, decorate it with some nice piece of satin ribbon with some craft glue stick at the back just to secure it.



Yup, that's all. You are done with this super nice diy hand fan!





You may opt for any other die cut shape you prefer eg. heart shape, oval shape. But it might be more time consuming though :p

Have fun to try it out!
