Making Paper Fans
This may be my first craft experience. We were always coloring and often layered crayons onto paper and creating patterns, scratching through. Then one day we accordion-folded them and added a bobby pin so we could use them as fans. Then we had the bright idea of selling them for a nickel to our neighbors, door-to-door. We would move the bobby pin from near the end, where the paper was a useful fan, to the middle, where we said they could be a bow for one’s hair! Me and my sisters were not only creative, but entrepreneurial way back when. I’m sure I don’t have a photo of us with these, but maybe I could make one and upload a photo of it now. I’m sure you’d laugh; surely the nickel was a donation to a good cause, not a purchase of something worth a nickel!
