For Chinese New Year we will be folding and pasting a pretty Chinese fan with the little ones. We still have a pack of origami paper in red so we use that. Ordinary 15x15cm folding sheets are more convenient for the pimples, they do not tear quickly! ;)) Red and pink are both lucky colours. You can download the Chinese New Year wishes written in characters.
How to make a Chinese fan
Fold red paper harmonica-wise.
Fold all sheets in the same way.
Draw on the fan, using the marker and glitter glue, let it dry.
Stick the folded sheets together, let the glue dry.
Cut a very long thread, about 1 meter long. We will make tassels out of it, so put the fan in the middle of the thread.
Wrap both sides of the thread around the bottom of the fan and tie it together.
Wrap the adherent thread around your fingers in a circle.
Wrap the roll on the topside, tie off firmly then cut the bottom open.
Cut the tassles on the underside neatly straight.
This pretty red fan will surely bring lots of good luck!
Xin Nian Kuai Le! - Happy New Year!
