Clothes Peg Fan

Posted 2013-09-17 by Jane Street ⇒ follow

Here's a quick but satisfying project to make a pleated fan with a wooden clothes peg handle. We decorated ours with chalk pastels on a dark background - this was a fun change from the usual crayons and paint.

Time: 15 minutes
Age: Any Age
Level: Easy

Materials

Piece of dark coloured thin card or thick paper

Wooden clothes peg (dolly peg)

Chalk pastels

Spray matt varnish or hairspray

Method

Decorate your paper using the chalk pastels. Have fun exploring making bright shapes on a dark background and smudging the chalk.

Fun with chalk pastels

Once you're happy with the design, spray with Matt varnish or hairspray to fix the chalk.

Fold the paper into a concertina.

Insert the concertina into the slit in the wooden clothes peg.

Slide the concertina into the slit in the peg to make a sturdy handle

Your fan is now ready to use.

Please upload a picture of your creation via the comments forum.
