| To Mother With Love Free Craft Project ~ Compliments of Craft At Home |
Material:
Paint stir stick or large craft stick
Heavy weight card stock paper2
Paper Doily (large size)
Craft glue
Ribbon
Clipping from Magazine, a family photo is nice too.
Parchmount Paper
Metallic Pen
How to:
Cut the template pattern from white card stock.� You will need two pieces of the template pattern. Glue
your doily to one side of each of the two template cut outs.� Allow the glue to dry completely and then trim
around the template, removing excess doily sections that overhang.� If you cut your doily template first
and then glue it to the card stock, you may have a little trouble with the doily tearing, so glue it without
cutting first.�
To press out bubbles and flatten your doily on the paper, place a sheet of parchmount paper on top of the
doily and press down, smoothing bubbles and wrinkles.� Gently peel back the parchmount paper while the
glue is still wet and allow your glue to dry completely.� The parchmount paper works very well and will
leave a nice clean finish on your doily fan.� Repeat for the second template piece.
Once your glue is all dry, glue a small clipping (I used a Victorian Vignette) to each side of the fan.� A photo
copy of you as a child or your family attached here, would be perfect for the occasion.� Allow this glue to
dry completely.�
Glue your paint stick between the two sheets (you may need to cut your paint stick, a length of about 9
inches will work well.� Insert the cut end between the fan and you won't have to smooth the wood).�
You may need to sand your paint stick a little if it doesn't have a smooth finish.� Glue the two wrong sides
(sides without doily) together, making sure your stick is lined up in the centre.� Be sure that you glue your
fan securely.� You want this fan to serve a function and not to come apart.
Tie a bow around the top of the handle and secure the bow with a little glue.� The bow will take a little
abuse if these fans are used.
Add an inscription on the handle with a gold paint pen, such as "To Mother With Love" or
"Happy Mothers Day" or "The World's Greatest Mom", etc.
