Victorian Fans
1. Take a piece of 3' piece of wide lace trim and gather by basting the lower edge along an 8" piece of floral wire. Gather the material as tightly as possible to create a fan effect. You will probably use 3" of the wire to gather in. Twist wire ends together forming a circle. Cut off extra wire.
Spray lace, following directions on can, with fabric stiffener. Allow to dry overnight. Next day, cut the lace circle in half, fastening the wire ends.
2. Place small dried flowers individually through holes in lace anchoring with glue. Use enough flowers to be colorful, but not so many as to crowd. Place larger flowers such as eucalyptus (Karen suggests three) at die bottom of the fan in the center. Again, anchor with glue gun.
3. A decorative ribbon adds the final touch. Make a bow, put a dot of glue on the back side of die ribbon, then glue onto the fan. Allow at least 20 minutes to dry. A magnet can be placed on back turn your fan into a refigerator decoration.
4. Hang on tree, anchor to a package or place on your refrigerator. Stand back and admire your handiwork.
