Manufacturing method of cattail leaf fan:

First, cut the leaves of sunflower from the mountain and dry them. After drying, cattail leaf fans can be made. First, "pull flowers." Tearing off the two sides of the leaves is to balance the two sides of the leaves, which looks round and beautiful. Then "cut the leaves". Cut off the surrounding branches and leaves. Then there is "ear cutting", and after cutting, the next step is carried out.

Then we will take out a hammer and start to hammer the handle of the leaves of Pu. The handle of cattail grass is black, which will turn white after hammering, and the handle of cattail grass should be widened. This process is called "hammer handle" Then wash the fan and smoke it in the next process. After smoking for one night, the exhausted fan will become much cleaner.

Then there is baking. You should flatten the fan, not so many wrinkles. The next step is to flatten the fan. The next step is to "debone" the fan after drawing the sample. Then sew the "sewing fan", and then push the bamboo strips into the fan handle with a pen, which is called "ear piercing". The last step is to "cut the handle", and cut the long handle as neatly as possible.
