DIY Chinese New Year decorations : Chinese Fan

It’s that time of the year again to be making Chinese New Year decorations :D Today we are going to make a Chinese Fan.

We’ll need a wrapping paper, some gold thread and some Ang Bao wrappers.

Fold the paper accordion style. Click here to find out more about accordion fold.

Fold it in half and glue together.

Cut two triangles.

Tie a gold thread at the bottom of the fan.

Cut the bottom of the fan.

Cut out nice pictures out of the Ang Bao wrappers and decorate the fan as you wish. I also use glitter glue to line the fan. You may also want to stick a tussle at the bottom of the fan :D
