How to Repurpose Ceiling Fan Blades:

What You Need

  • Ceiling fan blade
  • Chalkboard paint
  • Hot glue
  • Ribbon
  • Sandpaper (optional)
  • Chalk/chalk marker
  • Wall hook

What to Do

  1. If the ceiling blade is rough or overly dirty, lightly sand the surface with sandpaper.
  2. Buy chalkboard paint at your local craft store. Paint the blade with a few coats and let it dry for a couple of hours.
  3. Once the blade is dry, attach a ribbon of your choice with hot glue. Tie a bow at the top and attach it to the wall with a hook.
  4. Decorate or write any messages with a piece of chalk or chalk marker.

Other Ceiling Fan Blade Craft Ideas

There are many other ways to re-purpose fan blades! Here are some other fun ceiling fan blade craft ideas that will make your home look great:

  • Live, Laugh, Love Sign

This sign consists of three fan blades; each attached with heavy-duty yarn and painted bright red. To achieve the neat cursive words, use a stencil and paint it on.

  • Dragonfly Fence Art

These dragonflies will liven up any bland fence. The wings are made out of ceiling fan blades, and the body is made out of table/furniture legs and spindles. This craft is more advanced, but the finished product will be worth it!

Old ceiling fan blades are also great for showcasing a mural. Whether you paint on the fan blade yourself or hire someone to paint a picture you love, it’s creative and will fit just about anywhere!
