What can I make w/ 50 pieces of hardware from ceiling fan blades?
+31
I have made lots of dragonflies from fan blades and wood spindles. I have about 50 pieces of the hardware left over from the fan blades and have been trying to find something useful and / or decorative with the left over hardware. The pic is from a few dragonflies I have made. Thanks~!!!
might help if you posted a pic of the leftover hardware. Could they be assembled to be something a dragonfly might "rest" on?

Hello! I'm sorry -- if you have the motor, there are a few ideas on YouTube.com to repurpose it. The housing unit can be used as a plant holder after being painted to match your patio decor. Brackets are often used as fancy hooks to hold bathroom towels or a bathrobe. Parts are also sold online if you want to go that route. Another idea is to make a wind chime using the fan cover and washers. Good luck!
Good luck with your project! Would love to know what you eventually come up with!
Yes! Makes me wish I had some fan blades to use myself!
