text: This fan is beautiful, but I warn you that the open lace does not provide the cooling effect you expect from a fan.  However, for you talented crafters out there, you can make the fan even more beautiful while adding the cooling effect.  Simply use satin lining and cut to match the lace glued to the plastic splines.  Then glue the lining spline by spline to the back of the fan.  I also glued the lining to the top of the lace where it wouldn't show.  Takes some time and care, but the finished effect is quite spectacular.
