How Do You Paint A Silk Fan?
Step out of traditional crafts project and put your painting skills to work by turning a plain silk fan into a masterpiece. Use a design of your choice. Draw around the open fan on the paper. Draw or trace whatever design you would like to put on the fan onto the paper within the area of the fan outline. Secure the open fan over the design with masking tape and trace the design onto the fan with a vanishing fabric marker. Trace over the entire design with the gold gutta. Allow to dry. Mix thickener with the paints to prevent them from spreading over the gutta. Lightly paint the design using a different brush for each color. Allow to dry.
