Fan Red Packet Lantern

This Fan Lantern is not easy to make. But if you can follow the video from youtube, then it would be a breeze. Here's the link : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4ch-aLBGFk

I use my left over Ang Pow from last few years but they could not add up to the 12 long packets that I needed. So, I am only able to make 1 fan so far.

What you need:
- 12 x long red packets for fan,
- 13 x medium red packets for sticks (uses square packets)
- 4 x medium red packets for fan handle (uses 8 square packets)
- 1 x square red packets for handle holder

Directions:

1.                13x medium red packets for sticks - this is how it's gonna look above. Set aside.

2.                4x medium red packets for fan handle - fold to look like an accordian or mountain. Join all 4x medium red packets togeether with double-sided tape.

this is how it would look after joining all 4x red packets together. see above. I uses 8x square red packets instead as my left over from last few years.

3.                         Attached sticks (from No. 1) to the 13x long red packets -

continue till you finish all 13x long red packets. They will look like below;

4.                       Once you are done, you can attach the mountain/accordian fan handle to the fan.

The above is how the fan will look after attaching the fan handle.

5.                          To hold the handle in, fold 1x medium red packet into a binder as shown below.

Bind the fan handle, the whole fan will look like below;

I put a rabbit below the fan to make it look cute :). Anyway, here's wishing all a Hopping Rabbit Year with full of Happy and Leaping Good Health............ Hope this tutorial is clear enough for my next year CNY project.
