The method of folding an ancient fan is as follows:
Materials: square paper (it is best to use antique-style paper, such as rice paper), scissors, pens or pencils
Steps:
1. Select a square paper.
2. Fold the paper in half diagonally, and then unfold it.
3. Fold the left and right edges of the paper in half toward the center, and then unfold it.
4. Fold the top and bottom edges of the paper in half toward the center, and then unfold it.
5. Fold the four corners of the paper in half toward the center, and then unfold it.
6. Fold the paper in half along the previously folded line so that the four corners meet.
7. Fold the diagonal points of the paper toward the center, and then unfold it.
8. Fold the paper in half along the diagonal line so that the two points meet.
9. Fold the top and bottom edges of the paper in half toward the center, and then unfold it.
10. Fold the paper in half along the middle line so that the two points meet.
11. Fold the left and right edges of the paper in half toward the center, and then unfold it.
12. Fold the paper in half along the middle line so that the two points meet.
13. Use scissors to cut some slits on the top of the paper to form fan ribs.
14. Draw your favorite patterns or words on the front and back of the fan, and then your ancient fan fan is complete.
Notes:
1. When folding the paper, keep the creases as flat as possible to ensure the shape and beauty of the fan.
2. Be careful not to cut the paper when cutting out the fan ribs.
3. When drawing patterns or text, use appropriate brushes and paints to achieve an antique style effect.
