Making "Fan Props" is Super Easy ♡

First, grab a fan that you can find at a 100 yen shop! Choose a fan with a design you want to use, such as colored fans or fans that you can write on. ♩

Sometimes these items may not be in stock during the colder seasons, so it's best to get them in summer!

At the 100 yen shop specializing in Japanese small goods, "WanaWa KURASHI," they seem to carry them year-round, so be sure to check! ♡

☑ Preserved flowers

☑ Mizuhiki for gift envelopes

☑ Paper napkin flowers

☑ Washi paper or origami

And feel free to come up with your own design ideas!

Personalizing fan props with the couple's names is a wonderful idea. It’s a unique concept that fits perfectly with traditional Japanese attire, especially since it's more challenging to match kanji accessories with Western clothing! ♡
