Here are some of my favorites I've looked at online along with where they can be purchased if anyone is interested.
And here's a link for a lacy crochet pattern that can be placed over the staves of a folding fan:
And instructions for making a fan out of popsicle sticks:
Of course, a piece of cardboard will do when that's all you have (or you could just stick to the air conditioning or electric fan).
Have a great day!

I have a black plastic page from a heavy-duty binder, and I use that when I'm having a hot flash. Does the trick every time, although it isn't as pretty as the fans, but I think it's nicer to look at than your piece of cardboard or the popsicle sticks noted above, LOL. (I also have central air that is being used often this week.)
Elaine, well there you go! Necessity wins. And my central air is running this week, too (can't complain, though. The summer hasn't been excessively warm for us, so I can put up with a week here and there).
My mother always takes a fan to church in summer. She has some truly beautiful fans. Some fold, but my favorite doesn't. It's a Chinese watercolor on silk.
Sounds lovely, Mary! I have seen some beautiful ones being used at church as well.
Mary, that sounds lovely! I've come to the fan world late, but now I'm hooked. Some of them are so gorgeous.
I have yet to see one being used in public, but now I'm going to be on the lookout.
