I don't remember which teacher it was, or the book she authored. But any one could 'draw a pattern' of a fan stick, and cut repeated copies of it. I do recall that her fan sticks were much wider than normal - they were shaped with a flower silouette of the flower featured in the fam behind each flower. She had cut repeated shapes (about 8?) from acrylic sheets similar to overhead projector sheets. There was a pivot hole cut in each one and a gromet fastener through the hole. I wonder if templet plastic (think quilting templets) would work. She did say it was cut with regular scissors/shears. Her plastic was clear, and she mentioned it being easy to obtain in sheets similar in size to printer paper. I believe it was the instructor with the Miricort Jewelry and special cord she used. I can't find my Convention materials just now but maybe someone else is better organized than I am.
