Make a Rainbow Dash fan with washi tape! There are a lot of Rainbow fan tutorials out there but this one is a little different – it’s a Rainbow Dash fan. This tutorial is inspired by My Little Pony, and the fun part is that it’s made with washi tape. You can make a Rainbow Dash Fan or theme your fan to your favorite My Little Pony. How about an Applejack or Fluttershy fan? A Rarity fan would be cute too!

DIY Rainbow Dash Fan

MATERIALS YOU WILL NEED

plain white fan
rainbow washi tape
small craft scissors
a printout of Rainbow Dashes’ cutie mark
Mod Podge
paintbrush

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS

Prepare your fan by taking the front cage off so you can work on the fan blades.

Put red washi tape on the outer edges of the fan blades. Next comes orange on each blade. Make sure your colors are lining up. After that comes yellow. And then add in a layer of green. Then light blue. Finish with light purple. Put two strips on each fan blade so the color reaches all the way to the center of the fan.

Replace the front on the fan and decorate the center with light blue tape. This tape is the same color as Rainbow Dash. Cover the center circle with tape and trim off the excess.

Next it’s time to add Rainbow Dashes’ cutie mark. Print the mark from a picture found online. Trim out the cutie mark with small craft scissors. Make sure it fits on your fan and that it’s facing the right direction. Mod Podge the cutie mark to the center of the fan.  Also brush a layer of Mod Podge on top. Then let the glue dry completely.

Once the Mod Podge is dry, it’s time to try out your fan. If you’re using a clip-on fan, put together the clip portion. Then plug in the fan and watch the rainbow colors blend together.  Your project is done. I made Rainbow Dash, but you could theme your fan to your favorite My Little Pony.
