Sure you can! Many people have. Fans come in many sizes. It doesn't have to be the biggest size. And fans are made in many styles of lace. There are patterns in different books. There are books with only fans in them. A fan leaf is half of a wide circular edging. It would be no harder than a handkerchief edging, just curved. Word of warning....get your fan sticks FIRST, and size your pattern to fit. There's many a fan leaf waiting for the right size sticks. Try Louise Colgan's "Bobbin Lace Fans" for four styles of fans than can be done by an intermediate lacemaker. I made one from that book last year that's going to the state fair next week. (Just a happy customer. I get no profit from promoting the book.) If making a fan is your dream, go after it. You CAN do it. Happy lacing, Alice in Oregon -- where I just remembered I need a wedding gift in two months.
