While it's not dyeable by immersion (I wish they were) paint and marker both take on these -- I was amazed to see how little the Fabricmate markers ran. They hold up fairly well to abuse also

So much fun to paint. They are a little fussy when it comes to getting wet. Works great with neopaque and Lumiere paint by Jaquard.

Beautiful fans! Thin silk and delicate looking slats are sturdier than they appear -- held up to several days of play before we dyed them.Only glitches were my fault for not reading suggestions in these reviews. Microwave method with dye wasn't the best choice for these although the spatter-dyed designs were wonderful .A few slats has to be re-glued and one fan dried out while microwaving and caught fire! (just a little scorching on the bamboo and one small hole now that fan has a "back story" re. a Chinese princess & a fiery dragon). Since they close only with difficulty the girls decided to display them open on a bookshelf and they still love them. Will order again and use a different method of paintingcoloring. It does seem like these could be made with a moisture-resistant adhesive which would counter most of the complaints in the reviews. That's my only reason for not giving these fans 5 stars. Please check into this with your sources!

I sprayed my fan with starch (laundry sizing in a can) and then used colored sharpie pens to paint branches with blossoms (cherry? plum? who knows!) and it turned out great with no bleeding. The fan needed help folding the first couple of times but now opens and closes beautifully.

I bought this years ago and never used it it was stiff to open and close so I just put aside until a week ago and had just received my order with 4 different colored felt tip markers and started slowly adding color to my fan and I have been using it and that action has broken in my fan and love the way looks so much that I am placing a new order for more fans now that I have had practice coloring this fan.

Very nice for the price! The leaf is nearly sheer and quite lightweight.

Thought fan would be a more sturdier to add color.
