FAN MADE OF WOODEN STICKS

Send

In the interior, when the walls are empty and monotonous, it is somehow boring. And if something decorates them, then these are usually paintings or panels. And in this case, I propose to pay attention to the panel fan, which will look, despite its simplicity, very elegant and delicate, and will serve as a magnificent decoration of any wall, and any room.
For the base framework, we need:

Corrugated cardboard
Wooden sticks (30 cm),
Fabric, cords, threads, lace,
Jewelry (I already had flowers),
Glue (thermo and PVA).

It remains to tune in the right way, and begin to create beauty.
1. First, we cut 3 parts from cardboard - 2 lower parts (triangular), and one part an elongated arc. Mark the rays on the lower part, our sticks will be glued. They will need to be glued with pointed ends to the middle of the bottom. And you choose the number of sticks yourself, I got 13 pieces, but you can make more.

2. As soon as the sticks grip a little, glue the second cardboard part on top and press on top with something heavy. It will be necessary to give time so that the glue dries and everything is well fixed, at least half an hour. After that, you can glue the arc.

3. Now that the whole structure has become solid, you can begin to decorate. We mark on the fabric a size larger than the triangular part, we will need an allowance to bend the edges into the background. We bend the fabric on the top and glue it with thermo-glue, and then glue it to the cardboard, and then bend and glue the edges from the back.

4. Now you will need to decorate the arc above. To do this, you can take any tape or braid, pick up, and then glue it to the cardboard. You can atlas, but I found an elastic guipure.

5. Then we will go to the top. I stuck openwork blue ribbon to the sticks, and then the flowers, their size and quantity, too, at your discretion.

6. And the wicker remains the final stage, it is she who can advantageously fill the empty space, and will make the fan nobler. It can be done all over the fan. I had leather cords and threads. But this is not important, you can apply any thin ribbons, ribbons, ropes. We begin to draw each laces in a wave-like fashion - on a stick and under a stick. It is not necessary to pull strongly. You can immediately stick the edges to the stick. I did this at the end, because I improvised, and did not know yet how everything would look. Once you have decided, and the result has become satisfactory, you can trim the excess and stick the rest.
