1. Colored paper strips
2. Two bamboo sticks
3. Scissors
4. Pencil
5. Marker

1. Take a plain white sheet of paper as the base.
2. Use colored paper strips (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet) to make neat rainbow-colored stripes across the sheet.
3. Arrange the stripes next to each other horizontally across the sheet.

1. Once the stripes are ready and dry, start folding the paper.
2. Then flip the paper over and fold in the opposite direction, continuing this back-and-forth folding until the entire sheet is folded like an accordion or fan.
3. Make sure the folds are crisp and even.
4. After completing the accordion folds, fold the entire folded sheet in half so that the two ends meet.
5. Apply glue between the two inner sides of the folded piece to hold it in a semi-circle shape.
6. When opened, it will form a circular fan with rainbow colors radiating outward.

1. Take two bamboo sticks.
2. Attach one stick to each end of the fan using glue or tape so you can hold it with both hands and move it like a fan.

1. Draw and cut out a small cartoon cloud face.
2. Stick this face at the center of the fan where the two halves meet, covering the joint.
3. This makes the fan look lively and fun, giving it a cheerful personality.

Your rainbow fan with a smiling cloud face is now ready. The fan spreads out into a circle filled with bright rainbow colors and is easy to hold with the sticks. This craft is simple to make, looks beautiful, and is perfect for decoration, school projects, or as a fun handmade gift.
