Who this list is for
Paper fan decorations are for seven-year-olds making folded paper displays for a room or party table. They are hanging decorations, not handheld fans for cooling.
How to use this list
Choose patterned scrapbook paper or colored construction paper for each fan. Use rulers and pencils to mark folds, then fold the paper into an accordion shape. Child-safe scissors can trim edges before the folds are secured. Use glue sticks, double-sided tape, or adult-use staples to join the fan sections. Add self-adhesive gem stickers and washable marker details, then use a hole punch and cotton string for hanging.
Common mistakes
Do not expect these paper fans to work as durable cooling fans. Avoid making uneven folds, which can keep the decoration from opening into a round shape. Keep the stapler and staples with an adult. Use double-sided tape or glue sparingly so the folded paper does not become bulky at the center.
