Instructions
  1. Fancy Fans Step 1 Cut a 4 1/2- by 10 1/2-inch rectangle from the gift wrap. Accordion-fold the paper as shown, making the pleats 1/2 inch wide.

  2. Fancy Fans Step 2 Staple the folded paper across the center. Then bring together the ends on each side of the staple, taping the joints on the unprinted sides.

  3. Fancy Fans Step 3 Use a pushpin to poke a hole through the tape at the top of the ornament. Thread a 10-inch length of monofilament through it and then knot the ends to form a loop for hanging.
