Thread: Fan Dance

Hey! So I have been thinking about attempting a fan dance and i was just wondering if most of you make your own fans or do you buy them. I would like to make some so that they are more personal and I can pick out the colors, however I don't Want them to look cheap.

Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!!!

well i make them and do custom dyes in prety much any shade under the sun so if you get frustrated with the idea of making you could always come to me

ostrich.com do kits for making your self but they cost alot and dont look too nice (in my opinion any way)

some photos of my fans below

these are the ostrich.com cheapest ones
they are about 99.99 pounds for a pair

I just grab a glue gun, bamboo staves and some feathers when i need a pair, although if you want them to look professional i would recommend buying them from someone with a good experience of crafting them, i personally think Glitterburlesque's fans look lovely.
Also Darkteaser is making fans now, you should be able to find her on her by searching.

Can I just second glitterburlesque's fans as an option - mine are from her and they are absolutely fab to work with!

IIRC you can get the parts and then make your own fans and a lot of performers do that too, which is really helpful if you want a very specific colour pattern etc, but it really doesn't end up being much cheaper than buying them fully made up (the cost of the feathers is what makes them expensive, rather than the work involved in making them up).

Best of luck with your fan dance Deb O' Nair! :twothumbs:

awhh ty lilly!
yep its not much cheaper making them your self. feathers are very expensive and i dont make much profit off mine- i make them caus i like making em and its always good seeing your work in use

to glitterburlesque - i love your fans they are really pretty! however, my problem is i live in the US

and venus star - that is a good idea as well

so, thank you very much and i will update later if i do figure something out!

i would ship to the us if needed its just australia i have prob with because of their crazy strictness.
good luck finding a kit or something!

I think I'll be making an announcement soon upon the subject of making/sourcing feather fans... watch this space!! x

You should try a company called Strictly Sensuous - they make fans in almost any colour and are reasonably priced
