Buy a cheap ass fan that size with only a painted PAPER on it.
Strech the Fan All the way out and make measurments. more, burn, water or remove the paper; it's very easy. now take cut out cloth or paper and make the design on it.

For paper: I recomend some silk paper for modle planes, it's VERY VERY DELICATE! but easy to apply. add the design with either Magic Marker or water color.

For Faberic: Dye. then sew it on the blades.

You can't buy a cheap fan since Temari's is freaking huge!

I don't know if you can get them that big, but there are some pretty large ones you can get at import stores for about $10 or so. Then try spray paint/acrylic, unless you want to replace the paper like Sterling says.
no leap in logic is too extreme... for RAGE!
