Use the paper clip to score the fold lines. The fold line guides are the blue dashed lines.
Line up the paper clip on the fold line guide, then place the ruler next to it to keep straight. Push down and slide clip along guide lines. Repeat for each fold line on both the fan handle and the fan.

Once all fold lines are scored, use the craft knife and ruler to cut out the fan handle. When cutting, keep the cut path slightly inside of the line so that you do not leave white around the edges.
You can also use scissors.

The result of the cutout of the fan handle is as shown.
Fold along each of the score lines before taping for crisp folds.

Flip over and place a piece of long double sided tape or glue on the back.
