maymay i just started paper crafting a year ago to help me cope with with post traumatic stress disorder i suffer from do to illness i deal with that keeps me hospitalized most of the time but when im home i come right to my computer to learn something beautiful from you and you have changed my life . thank you so much for breaking it down for us as great as you do ! thanks susan
This would be a great thing to offer at a craft fair! Hmmmmmm.... My daughter is getting married next weekend on the beach. I think I'll make these for the ladies! It's immediate family only, so it wouldn't take too long. I'm so excited! TFS!!
Super adorable project. I made these previously, not as elegant, but with my third grade students as a Mother's Day gift. The kids drew their own pictures and that was the paper we used. We used the small rubber bands for the closure and I stapled them to the sticks for the kids. Then, the next year, I had my class make them for Thanksgiving and we donated them to a local nursing home as a service project. Now, I will make your project for a more "sophisticated" version. 😉
THANK you for teaching this old dog a new trick!! Last year I bought an adorable border punch. Used it and it was a MESS. I returned it next day never to buy another. I see them everyday on here and am so jealous. Realized just now that the punch was ok..i was just to dumb to use it right. After I watch your video I'm going to my favorite shopping site and get one. I WILL. Make a fan..or maybe even a bunch
I will be making several of these for an upcoming outdoor wedding. I can match there color scheme and keep the guest cool at the same time. Then they can take them home as a wedding favor.
I just watch your video on your wreaths,and now the fan and pointsetias, You and your husband are wonderful, Such inspiration to create and have fun,Thank you, Really enjoy your videos ,so down to earth,and real people giving from the heart,God bless.
Thank you so much for this video. I have a few punches and they were stacked in a draw because I did not know how to use them. Now I know I am having so much fun with them. it is like Christmas in my house. Happy Happy Happy.
Congratulations again on your play button from you tube! Didn't know they did that. You were genuinely touched and it was very nice of you to share that on your video! Good work! **********
Ok, so I finally made me a fan. Not the prettiest paper, only one-sided print with white on reverse, but it was my test run. ⚠️ I stamped on the sticks (says "Stay COOL") then clear embossed over the whole stamped side to protect the ink and give it a glossy finish. Hot glue would NOT stick to the embossed finish. At least mine wouldn't. I finally got the twine and buttons glued but it wasn't easy. I will definitely make more. I need fans at church and I know other ladies there will want one! Love it! ❤️
Thank you for this tutorial, I have been trying to think of what to make for our church ladies for Christmas this year and these will be perfect....i live in Australia so it is summer then and gets really hot... it will be lovely to see all the ladies using them to cool down during the sermon... thank you
Maymay I tried to use the buttons for a spacer because I just couldnt wait to get foam dots and it was kinda bulky BUT! then it hit me. I cut up one of my sticks into a small square and it was the perfect space and was a supply already being used. I also used a beaded project ( practice piece that I didnt like for its intended use but never unbeaded it) to weight the end of the bakers twine. Super pretty! TFS!!! your videos are so lively and fun.
Maymay - your tutorials are the best - you do such a wonderful job of explaining the steps. I particularly appreciate this tutorial, because I wanted to make one of these fans and couldn’t find instructions that were so well done. Thank you - Thank you
You absolutely crack me up!! I have to admit I am thankful I can get to WalMart and Fred Meyer...BTW you need to do a winter cruise, I can't go till winter cause I work as a tour guide here in Alaska and cannot get time off in summer. Check out the Princess cruises and do one of those...I love them.
I think this is a treasure and would make them to hang as decorations. I am going to apply Velcro on the sticks to close it as I want the sticks to bind together as flat as possible. Thanks for sharing!
I liked your fans the are nice. I may try to do one when I have time because I am working on another project. I have not been able to see the on live because have always be some place that is not home at the time but one of these day I will be home for the on live maymay made it crafts. God Bless
You 2 are sooo cute - had fun watching this video. Love this fan. I also thought I could paint or cover the sticks with paper to match. I can see these fans included in a loaded envelope too. Can't wait to see Thursday's project too. TFS
I really enjoyed watching and learning how to make these fans. Been looking for a while since April. Thanks a million for sharing I have tons of paper so I will be using what I have to see how them come out, Thanks again.
Oh my goodness these are so awesome!! I actually make my rosettes like this. Not with the sticks but the paper binding. I need to get some border punches, I don't have any yet lol. Thanks for sharing this cool idea. Hugs 😘 Kelly
Oh yes, "personal summers". So dang much fun. 🙄😛 I have a friend who will definitely be getting one. Making one for myself too!!🙂 Thank you so much, Maymay!❤
I love this tutorial . I will make a couple of them to give them as present for my friends . Where did you get your pens and paper from . I will like to use the paper for the fan. Thank you .
May May, I love watching you craft projects.Your videos really inspire me and give me motivation. I like to create, but just don't know if I can create like you, so I usually end up not trying.Please, keep up the great teaching because I'm getting bold enough to try more. P>S. Vinnie does a great job, too.
cant wait until Thursday , what a beautiful card and oh check out Walmart for rinesstones here they are ,97 cents and you only get the clear rinesstones.
Hello dearest MayMay!!!! Can you give details on your paper trimmer please??? Thank you so much for all your projects!!! By the way, I am in Fairhope AL!!!
QUIICK TIP. When it comes to using a hot glue gun and pressing things down or smothing it out I used a dollar tree spatula. has saved my fingers from some major injuries.
hello how was your vacation.sorry you have a froggy venny hope you feel better soon.love the fans I don't have to purchase them now I can make them for my Church family thanks for sharing
We live in a remote rural area with no electricity. It is amazing that we can teach something usefull to our rural girls without electricity. But can you give us the link so that we can purshase the tools. Thank you.
These are gorgeous! The book binding is a brilliant idea!!! But I want to know about that lattice paper on the back of that first fan! Did you make that through punching yourself or did it come that way and can you tell me where I can get it!
This is too cute. I like this. I am going to make me some of these to keep in my purse and car,so when I go somewhere outside I will have my FAN!!! The stamping would be cool. I thought about a little decoupage also in the sticks. What you think? Thanks for the idea(s). What time Thursday? I forgot and can't find where I wrote down my times. I have to figure the time, because I think we are in a different time zone. I'm in Atlanta and you are in Alabama. I think we are in different time zones.
Hello Maymay, just found you...loved the tutorial! I thought I heard you say 12 x 12 score board, for scoring paper before folding, but I haven't been able to find anything called that at Michael's and wondering if I misunderstood you!

LOL - in Minnesota, we also say it's not the heat, it's the humidity, and we consider the mosquitoes to be our State bird... Loved the fan, thank you!
Welcome back Maymay and Vinnie glad you had a great getaway. Praying for you Vinnie. Love the paper and the punch.
Just had a thought.....those wavy craft sticks would be really pretty.......bling 'em!
Stamp it with " Baby it's cold outside" that would be so cool!!! Thanks for sharing!

Those would be adorable to put in the Church pews with scripture on the sticks!
Love it too!!! Lisa that's the first thing that came to my mind toooo.......make some for church...
Maymay & Vinnie! It's so nice to see you back! Love theses little fans. They are beautiful.

I LOVE this project and I LOVE MayMay and Vinnie, I could listen to you all day long!!!
You guys are killing me with the "southern talk"... "if we could just get rid of these skeeters". Hilarious!😄
Great craft - love the fans.
Maymay - your tutorials are the best - you do such a wonderful job of explaining the steps. I particularly appreciate this tutorial, because I wanted to make one of these fans and couldn’t find instructions that were so well done. Thank you - Thank you
