    What adhesive did you use to glue them together and to get the stick to stay in place? I was thinking glue gun but not sure.

    i've had a bit of a problem with mine - but they worked.

    I used a glue stick for the paper that i printed off on the front and back of the fan - and the brown cardstock (2 pieces) were glued together with a heavier "SoBo" glue - but you don't want to use a TON because it does warp a little...

    1 thing I should have noted - make sure to use a really good heavy glue stick (i like the one that goes on "blue" but dries clear)...I ran out and ended up using cheap glue sticks that I had - and I think that was the small issue i had with a few of the fans not turning out right - the ones that used the other glue stick (goes on blue...) were great!

    I used a trial with 3M spray mount adhesive and that seemed strong enough. I haven't printed my programs yet because I'm still finalizing the ceremony, but hopefully it'll be soon.
