3. Finally, Glue, Glue, Glue!
Or tape, tape, tape, whatever you prefer. Your final step is to assemble your program fans using the adhesive of your choice.
We find that Zip Dry Paper Glue or double sided tape dots work best for strong, wrinkle free fans.
- Cover about half the stick in glue/tape (less if you want a longer handle)
- Adhere the stick to the unprinted side of one card
- Trace the perimeter of that card with tape/glue (don’t forget the stick!)
- Adhere the blank side of the other card to the glue
Yup, that’s all there there is to it! You are done!
