Carnival time is upon us so how about making some costume decorations yourself? :) I want to show you how you can easily make carnival hand fan with alcohol inks and yupo paper.
Materials needed:
alcohol inks
yupo paper
porporina or metallic dry pigment
blender for mixing inks
scissors
latex gloves (gotta protect your hands :))
piece of a cardboard
a pair of chopsticks
red bow
two sided tape
red feathers
Step 1: Cut out 2 circles from yupo paper, one slightly smaller
Step 2. Dye smaller circle with alcohol inks and metallic pigment until you're happy with result. This circle will be the front one.
Step 3: Dye the big circle but only on the sides, middle wont be visible
Step 4: Wrap chopsticks with a bow
Step 5: Attach chopsticks and red feathers to the big circle with a two sided tape
Step 6: Attach the smaller circle on top adding small pieces of carboad on sides for stability and 3D effect
And you're done! Your fan is ready :)
