• I had a thought... maybe do it like the ones in grade school but use fabric lace instead of paper;

  1. first get a piece of fabric cut it in the fan shape, even go online and look for paper fan patterns
  2. soak it in liquid starch and let it dry
  3. then do that back and forth folding motion and iron it!  

  Also search fabric origami!  it is fabulous!

  I hope this is what you meant....
