Gotta have it!
Perhaps the paper could be red and raspberry with a raspberry ribbon. The corners have got to be rounded too. Sept 30/08 Update: Found a template and instructions on marthastewart.com/weddings Flutter fans were common giveaways in bygone years. Bring them back with this favor. Choose a template and enlarge 250 percent. Trace and cut as directed. Glue one piece of decorative paper to one side of the pieces of card stock, using craft glue. (Spread the glue thinly with a scrap of card stock.) Once the glue has dried, punch a hole in each piece. Stack the pieces, and slip a paper fastener through to join them. Paper Fan Templates Photocopy these templates at 250 percent. For a wedge-shaped fan, trace template A twice onto both card stock and a decorative paper, then trace template B once each onto card stock and decorative paper with a different pattern. For a diamond-shaped fan, trace template C five times onto both card stock and papers. For a heart-shaped fan, trace template D three times onto both card stock and papers. or directions from http://www.gnyc.net/senseless/2006/06/10/diy-fan-programs/ Materials (per set) 2 110lb (or heavier) cover stock 8.5×11 1 3/16? eyelet Tools scissors, eyelet-setting tools, computer, printer Recommended Crop-A-Dile (eyelet setter), Rotary Paper Trimmer (cutter), Classic Crest Natural White 110lb Cover (white paper), Vice Versa Cardstock (textured colored paper) Template Three pieces can be printed on one 8.5?x11? 110lb cover stock. If youre using cardstock, make sure its not index coz that is thinner. First template measures approximately 7? x 3 1/2? (widest) and second measures approximately 7 1/2? x 3 3/5? (widest). My template has four pages. First page is an introduction. Page 2-4 has the template with different line widths - page 4 having the thickest and darkest. This is helpful to those using darker paper. However, I recommend using the thinnest and lightest one possible. Adding an image background Click your cursor on the empty fourth page of the template file. Add your image by clicking INSERT from the top menu then PICTURE. You can either insert a clipart or an image file. Select your image by clicking on it. Right click on the image then click FORMAT PICTURE. Click the LAYOUT tab and select BEHIND TEXT under Wrapping Style. Click OK. Now you can drag your image to anywhere you want it. Notice that your image appears behind your texts. Directions Cut on solid lines. You may use cutter or X-acto knife for the straight lines. Use scissors for the curved lines. After all pieces are cut, it is time to put the eyelet that attaches all the pieces together. Click here for instructions on how to set the eyelet. I usually use a 3/16? hole puncher to make the holes. Its easier. But now I use the Crop-A-Dile to punch and set the eyelet, it is much easier to use. Tie a ribbon through the eyelet hole if you prefer. All done and now your guests can enjoy them! |
