With the “good” side facing down, fold the paper in half “hot dog style”, creating a crease. Measure and cut paper into a 1×3 rectangle of desired size (i.e. Hold in place while glue cools (won’t take long).ġ. Once fan is completely assembled, flip over and squirt hot glue into the center of the back of the pinwheel. Again, use double-sided tape to secure.ġ2. Connect the three pieces using the triangle cut and fold over “hump” method previously used. Repeat entire process with other 2 accordions.ġ1. Use a piece of double-sided tape on the inside of the flap with the triangle cut to secure in place.ġ0. Take the flap with the triangle cut and gently slide directly over the intersecting “hump”. Fold accordion in half across crease(from step 2) to bring the ends together. Cut out a small triangle on the downward flap (from the bottom of the paper to the center crease).ĩ. Cut both end flaps across crease (from step 2).Ĩ. With “good” side of accordion facing down, make small cuts at the top of the “humps” about 1/3 of the way down. If not, simply cut off the upward fold so your ends match up.Ħ. You should end up with a downward fold (“humps” on both ends). Flip and continue folding the paper accordion style until entire piece is folded.
Fold bottom of paper up and over line to create first fold.ĥ. Measure and draw a line 3/4” from the bottom, perpendicular to the crease, to give you a guide while folding.Ĥ. With the “good” side facing down, fold the paper in half, creating a crease. *Note: the diameter of the fan will be the same as the paper size. For this method you need 3 square pieces of paper per fan (i.e.
