I'm interested in this technique..... I've often wondered how to make the rounded ends of the dresdens smoothly....

Can anyone explain how to use the dryer sheet to do the ends of the dresden plate
.

I used them like a lining. I cut them in half lengthwise, sewed them to the front of the fans, then turned the lining to the back and ironed them. Now I don't have to worry about the edges fraying when I attache the plate to a square.
