This is Janet from Try it - Like it - Create it, and I am sharing a tutorial for decorating a Victorian fan.
This month the design team here at Rinea is partnering with Creative Embellishments for our projects.
The fan uses pieces mainly from Rinea, Creative Embellishments, and Little Birdie.

I began by coating each piece of the Victorian fan with the gold Rinea foiled paper in starstruck. I trimmed them out using an X-Acto knife and thankfully a regular hole punch fit the hole perfectly and I punched each one out.
Then I layered them into an open fan shape and glued them together.
I created a tassel by wrapping a variety of color-coordinating materials around my fingers - thread, cord, ribbon... and attached it to the fan through the open hole.
I began layering the floral pieces onto the fan and adhering them with hot glue until finished. The only thing left to do is add a hanging mechanism to the back. (a soda can tab works well for this)
