Doily Fans!

For the gender reveal party I made some doily fans, which is a necessity at a Texas BBQ!  These are also perfect for a summer wedding and ridiculously easy!

WHAT!

Doilies (you need 2 doilies per fan).  You can buy these cheap at Michaels $1.99 for 16 or for something less traditional check out Knot and Bow on Etsy. 

Popsicle sticks

Cardstock

Pencil

Cup about the size of the middle of the doily 

Hot glue

Foam brush

Elmer's glue or rubber cement

Scissors

 

HOW!

Trace the cup onto the cardstock (you need 2 circles per fan)

Cut the circles out

Use white glue or rubber cement to paint glue onto the cardstock

Press a cardstock circle onto the middle of the doily

Use your fingers to smooth out any bubbles

Repeat

Once both doilies are dry, hot glue a Popsicle stick about one inch in to the back of one doily/cardstock

Align the other doily/cardstock on top and hot glue the Popsicle stick and cardstock

Go around the edges and glue the doilies to each other

Let it dry

Doily fan complete!  Stick these in large mouth mason jars on a table outside your ceremony and you will have very happy guests!
