This is a craft that has been in my family for generations. My grandmother taught me how to make this Victorian-era inspired fork fan from re-used plastic forks from Wendy's (they are the most durable), leftover lace trim and silk flowers from the local dollar store. The ribbon is woven between the tines of the forks, and the bottoms are held together with hot-glue. While this fan will not create much of a breeze, it makes a lovely addition to any room's decor.

this craft has all the elements. It's been in her family for generations so it evokes the past. Yet, it uses a modern component--plastic forks--something that is not usually associated with something as romantic as a fan.
The graceful tribute to the fancy-work of Victorian women is worthy of an award!
