Has anyone ever repurposed a old ceiling fan?

Habitat For Humanity

I saw where someone used the blades to make a giant butterfly to hang on their fence. Very pretty.

Hello Jean; I know exactly how you feel, as I try to repurpose everything. More of us need to recycle, reuse and reduce!!!

If it were me, I would donate it to a local Thrift Store.

I personally have done that with several things that stopped working.

One in particular, here is run by a religious group, and some of the older men excel at tinkering with things.....They fix them and resell for the Church's Thrift Store!!!

If not, someone on free cycle or such would probably be interested.

I hope that this will help you!!! Take Care!

Thanks 😀

If you have, use them in a covered porch or the garage.

if they still work and the motor can be use to turn something in a D.I.Y. project
