Description:
World Wide must have a rating of 4+ with no "no sends" in the past 2 months. On this swap you will be making 2 fans. 1 for each partner. I have a template you can use. I printed the template at size 3 1/2 by 5 inches. http://www.ruthannzaroff.com/mirkwooddesigns/fan.htm Is the site to get the original template. You print the template and use that to cut out at LEAST 4 "blades". You want to decorate one side of each "blade". Then you will put them together and attach string or yarn or something on the back so it will hold it open. I have pictures I can send if you need to see one done. Sign up until March 27 (swap bot won't let me post partners until the 28nd). I will try to post partners that day. Please have your swaps sent by April 25. On the handle you can use Brads or eyelets or even ribbon... You may make and send others to people. If you are one that would love more put a note in COMMENTS section. If you post your address there remember THE WHOLE WORLD CAN SEE IT. You can put a message there and have people contact you or myself to get your address. People must be listed in this swap for me to give out other addresses! Since we have 2 partners what I do is make them up in advance if you know what theme you will be making them in. If you are going to make them with a theme from your partners profile then this wouldn't help..lol MAKE CHOOSES THEME no matter what. I would love to recieve more!! I have a partail wall I need to decorate. My husband makes templates from Lexan (hard plastic). If you want one I can send it to you for the cost of postage. The Lexan template makes it so much easier to make sure you trace it right and get the same size. Its great to have if you plan to do alot of these fans. I know I plan to host alot..lol

My husband took my template to work with him so he could make more. I will get with you tomorrow on how much it will be. They come with plastic on them that you can peel off. The Lexan does scratch easy so you may want to leave the plastic on then again the lexan is see-through..

The blade is one stamp.

If you are sending the money via PayPal please use grumpybear@milk.toast.net and add 10 cents for what they will charge me. So it would be 51 cents in USA and $1 overseas (except Canada I would have to look it up).

My husband already took the plastic off of them, why I don't know. They have holes drilled in them so you can mark where the glue and hole goes.

Thanks for joining my swap!

Are the fans to be decorated in an Oriental style also? Or can we take a cue from our partner's profile on the decorations?

Maker gets to choose the theme. You can go with profile or do Asian or what ever you would like to make.

Have a great day.
