Now to make the fan...

Reduce the size of your fan part by going to Image..Resize..
and choose 80 % of original. Then go to Image ..sharpen..and sharpen once.
It is very important to sharpen it after you have reduced it or it will be blurry.

Now..
Open a new image..500 x 500..transparent background.

Copy the fan part and paste on the new image at about the
350 x 150 marks. Deselect.
Now if you just hit Ctrl E you can paste it again.
This one you need to keep selected and go to Image...Rotate..
Left...Free...20. Now go to Sharpen and sharpen once.
Line it up so that the point is even with the point of the other part you
have there. Now De-select it.

Now hit Ctrl E again to paste another one ...go to Image..
Rotate and put 40 in this time. Then sharpen once and line it up
with the points of the other two. De-select.

See how the points are lined up here.

Just keep doing this , increasing your rotation by 20 each time
and sharpen each time..till you get to the rotation of 120.

Now use the rectangle selection tool and draw a box around the
fan...click inside the box, on the fan to select it..and go to
Image...rotate...Right...Free..40.
Now Sharpen once.

Now you should have this

At this point I use my Lasso selection tool..point to point and
click around my lace part of the fan..then go to Sharpen and 
sharpen once. I do this because the lace is usually still a little blurry
and this will sharpen it without sharpening the rest of the image.

Add a new layer
Now..using the Lasso selection tool..select an area along the bottom edge of your fan.
Like this

Now flood fill with a solid color. You can add a bevel to it
or use a Blade Pro preset..or use the sculpture effect on it.

I used the sculpture effect.
With these settings

Here is mine

Here is the pattern if you want it..you will have to open it in PSP
then save it as a BMP file in the Patterns folder. Then you should
be able to select it in your sculpture effect.

Now...add a new layer.
Use the Draw Preset Shape Tool
set to...circle...filled..antialias checked.
Draw a circle at bottom center point  of the fan ..see the image below.

Again..you can use Blade Pro, bevel or sculpture on it.

Now go to Layers...Merge Visible.

Now..add a new layer
Select the Draw tool and use these settings

Draw a string hanging from the bottom of the fan.
You can add tassels if you want.
  Next..use the magic wand to select the string..now add
a slight inner bevel to it if you want.

Now go to your Layers Drop down
it will look like this...see where the Layer 1 is on top of the
Merged Layer ??

Just click on the layer 1 and hold your button and drag it below the merged layer.
Then let off the button. This will put the string layer behind the fan so
it doesn't show where your string meets under the button.
See now where the Layer 1 is ?

Now just go to Layers..Merge Visible.
Now you can tube it !!!

Final Image

This tutorial was written from my own original idea.
I hope it is easy enough for you to follow..there are so many more things you can
add to the design..most of it you will learn just from playing with it.

The PSP Workbench Group has kindly taken the time to do this
tutorial and the results of their creativity are so beautiful that I asked
them if I could add a link to their page of fans they have done.
So if you want to see some of their beautiful work click on the link below.
And I thank all of them !! *S*
