Making a Fan

from top to bottom
phases of making a folding fan
1. reed stripes, in this case they are at least 25cm long, then I cut them up in step2
2. you make thinner stripes, with a knife (and try not to cut your fingers off, who knows when you will need them )
3. use a buffer to shape it into the right width and make it smooth
4. then cut it into a shape, the tip should be pointy, and drill a hole into it, 2.5cms from the end

I don't know how to make folding fans proffesionally, but this method was good enough
