- 1). Cut out a rectangle that has opposite sides that are just shorter than the length of the Popsicle sticks that you are using to make the fan. Decorate the paper as desired, using nothing to decorate it that will add bulk.
- 2). Fold the paper into an accordion shape, with each fold slightly smaller than the width of the Popsicle sticks. You will want to have a finished fold with ends that face opposite directions, like a Z with many extra zigzags in the middle if you view it from above. Trim the ends so that this is the case if the folding doesn't result in perfect ends on its own.
- 3). Run a line of glue down one of the ends. Stick one Popsicle sticks to the glue. Do the same with the opposite end.
- 4). Drill a hole through the popsicle sticks and the paper at the base.
- 5). Thread a ribbon through the hole and tie the ends together tightly in a knot.
