glitter tinsel fan
Recommended for anyone who wants to go all out! Here are some ideas for sparkly tinsel uchiwa fans.
For special events like sports days and athletic festivals, you’ll want to decorate the items you hold to be flashy, too.
This idea is perfect for those who want to make a super eye-catching, cute item that stands out from everyone else! If you decorate the edge of the uchiwa with party tinsel, it instantly becomes glamorous and glittery.
Choosing party tinsel in colors that match your uchiwa’s decorations will help bring the whole design together.
A bracelet made from fruit-protective foam netting
Fruit-protecting nets, like the ones around apples, stretch and contract nicely and fit well on the wrist, so let’s use that feature to make a wristband.
Prepare a fruit net, sequins, sparkly paper, thick paper (cardstock), colored cellophane, and tissue paper.
Wrap the sparkly paper around the thick paper to make a core, then place a gem-like decoration made from colored cellophane and tissue on that base, and glue sequins around it.
Staple the whole piece to the fruit net, and you’re done.
