Step 3Make the Hole for the Stick
The paint stir stick will serve as the paper fan handle. To make your paper fan as sturdy as possible, you will want to insert it as far as possible. Here's the way to do it:
1. With the back (sealed) side of the mailer facing up, position the sealed mailer in landscape view.
2. Using your ruler and pen, mark the halfway point at the bottom (which is 4.5" in from the left on a 7" by 9" mailer).
3. Position your stir stick vertically atop the center mark, then mark the mailer on each side of the stick at the bottom of the mailer to show where you will cut the mailer in Step 4 on this page.
4. Using two diagonal cuts as shown, cut the bottom of the mailer away to make just enough room for the stir stick to slide into the mailer. You will end up with an "M" if you did this right.
You won't accidentally cut what you put inside the mailer in the previous step as long as your M cut doesn't go far beyond the sealed edge.
