They have thin templates and wider ones. I have made several and they go up quick. I fold my blades rightside together and sew a 1/4 inch across the top. When you turn it, you have a perfect point. Then I sew the blades together starting at the top to keep them uniform and I machine applique the plate on using the blind hem stitch. I have made the 3D fans by sewing light and dark strips together and then cut the blades out.
