After staring at this fan that wouldn't work and my Aunt wouldn't return it, thought what the heck make it into something.
Take a fan that doesn't work. Any size, standing or not, or even the cover itself. If you really want to go all out, have a fan that works to have a multifunctional conversational piece.
After taking off the cover of this one, I poked a hole in the back of cover and inserted clock motor. You will have to either put a nut or something that keeps the motor from falling out ( I used a piece of straw). Which worked just as good. Also, be careful when putting a hole in this type of cover, mine crack a bit but not really noticeable.
-Added the numbers and some super of your choice that will hold numbers in place.
Enjoyed the project?
Suggested materials:
- 1 fan (how big/size up to you), working or not (Just about any store that has a fan similar to this style)
- Clock repair kit (walmart online, where I had gotten this one)
- Super glue (any store that would sell the strong glue.)
- 1 or 2 batteries, depends on clock motor (any store that sells batteries)
