Celebration Fan for Cinco de Mayo

Happy Monday, everyone!  I hope your week is off to a good start.  Here, at Altered Pages, we are getting ready for Cinco de Mayo using our newest addition to the Altered Pages store, the gorgeous Sabor Papel papers and embellishments.

I decided to make this easy and fun church fan with them.

   

                                             Front                                                          Back  

Here is a selection of some papers and images to use.

Remove wood handle from fan and trace around fan with pencil onto back side of colored card stocks; cut out.

Adhere papers to each side of fan with Aleene's Tacky Glue.

Print image from Cinco de Mayo collage sheet, then cut colored card stock slightly larger, then cut the  Sopressa paper even larger.  Cut papers freehand, or use a nesting die.  Layer and adhere the three pieces together with double sided tape.  Adhere to center of fan.

Fussy cut out four heart pieces from the Corazonitos paper.  Adhere the hearts beneath the four corners, as shown.

Edge the green side with the Mix'd Media ink pad.

Paint handle with Chalk Paint.

Adhere to back of fan with Aleene's Tacky Glue.

Fussy cut image from Sentimentios Amor and adhere to back of fan.  Print "Celebrate Cinco de Mayo" from the  Cinco de Mayo collage sheet onto purple paper, cut out and adhere to back of fan, as shown in finished photo at the top of the post.

Add Ball Fringe Baby Size around the front edge of the fan, as shown in the finished photo at the top of the post.
