Cool August 1st Fan
For August 1st, I crafted a fan that is not only practical but also brings a lot of Swiss flair. Bright red, with a cute crafted cow on it, it's the perfect accessory for National Day.
Swiss tradition meets creative crafting fun
The fan is made of red paper, which I folded into an accordion. Perched on top is a small cow, lovingly designed with details reminiscent of Switzerland. This transforms a simple fan into a true statement of love for home and summer vibes.

For this project, you will need:
Versatile and personal
The fan is ideal for enjoying a cool breeze on warm days. But not only that, it can also be beautifully hung as a decoration, for example on a window or wall. If you like, you can also craft other animals such as goats, deer, Bernese mountain dogs or marmots, and create your own little Swiss animal world.
Fabulously fresh
Crafting is a lot of fun and stimulates creativity. It's especially great when you design the fan together with friends or family, creating a shared souvenir with a personal touch.
Small DIY, big impact
Whether as a gift or for yourself, the red cow fan not only brings a fresh breeze but also a lot of joy and a piece of Swiss tradition into everyday life. And with the many craft materials from I AM CREATIVE, your imagination knows no bounds.
