Consigli dalla puntata

• The smaller you make the concertina folds, the more detailed pleats your fan will have.
• You can prepare the fans in advance and store them in your stash ready to use on cards.
• If you're not confident cutting straight edges, making irregular shapes for your sentiment adds character and adapts to your style.
