Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What type of paint or ink works best on this blank bamboo folding fan?

A: The smooth paper surface of this DIY bamboo folding fan works excellently with Chinese ink, watercolor, acrylic paint, calligraphy pens, and fine-tip markers.

Q: Are the bamboo ribs sturdy enough for repeated use?

A: Yes — the bamboo rib construction is both lightweight and durable. Bamboo is naturally resilient and flexible, making it well-suited for a folding fan that will be opened and closed regularly. With normal use and proper care, this fan maintains its shape and function over time.

Q: What are the dimensions of the fan when fully open?

A: When fully opened, the fan measures approximately 38 × 21 cm (about 15 × 8.3 inches), providing a generous surface for painting, calligraphy, or simply fanning yourself on a warm day. Please allow a ±1–2 cm deviation due to manual measurement.
