Step 1: Create a 1-1/4 x 6" cardboard triangle (see example), then trim 2" from the point of the triangle to make a template. On the back of a sheet of 9x12" Multimedia Paper, use ball point pen to trace the template consecutively 15 times. Pressing hard will score all of the fold lines and create the fan shape. Cut out the fan shape.
Step 2: Decorate the front of the fan with colored pencils, gouache, acrylic, etc. (The beauty of Multimedia Paper is that it accepts both wet and dry media). Paint around design with Liquid Metal Acrylics. Fold the fan at each of the scored fold lines made from the template. Next, paint the back of the fan with Liquid Metals Acrylics.
Step 3: Cut eight 7" pieces of flat reed. On each of the reeds, punch a 1/8" hole 1" from the end. Color all of the reeds, front and back, with a Fine Point Sharpie Permanent Marker.
Step 4: Starting on the right side, glue one piece of reed to each of the upper "ridge points" of the folds. Make sure to put the 1/8" holes at the bottom. Next, cut a 6" strand of hemp and thread through each of the 1/8" holes. Tie the hemp into a tight knot.
Step 5: String beads on hemp and tie securely. Trim the hemp to finish.
