Help finding bamboo fan handles

[Betsy]

Does anyone know where I can find these bamboo handles? I want to make this myself but I can't find the handles anywhere - looked on EBAY, craft stores, Googled it - Please Help!!

I haven't a clue. but you might look for just a stick and then cut a slit in the end. I'm wondering if maybe a florist or something would have them.

Try a floral supply . I believe they sell them in bulk. Good luck!

How pretty! Have you tried EBay? I bet you'll have to buy the long sticks and cut them down.

Did you try some of these searches: Natural Tonkin Bamboo, Bamboo Canes, Bamboo Sticks, Bamboo Poles, Bamboo Flower Sticks

A lot of the searches lead to china. The closest thing i found to it was the 'bag handles on ebay

Ebay Bamboo handles

These guys seem to specialize in bamboo sticks!

Otherwise a craft or floral supply place seems to be your best bet.

I used bamboo for my invitations. I bought them at Michaels. The bamboo rods were about 60" I think and they were only about $8.00 each. Hope that helps.

those are beautiful maybe i will make our programs to look like that.

 

hhmm that picture looks as if the bamboo stalks are cut lenghtwise and glued to the paper - does that seem right?

Good News - I emailed the company of these fans and she said she would sell the bamboo sticks for $1.50 a piece - SCORE!! So now I don't have to worry about it! Thanks for all the input - if you want the email or contact person for these just pm me!!
