Ideas for repurposing old hand fans



I have several hand fans that I recently inherited. Many of them are in bad shape. I would like to find a way to use parts of them. Does anyone have any ideas about repurposing antique hand fans?

I have cheap comic convention fan my friend gave me and the hinge on the center came out when my other friend and his boyfriend were playing with it I'd rather not throw it away since it was a pregraduation gift so I'd like to reuse it somehow but I only seem able to find ideas for electric fans not cheap black hand fans lolHelpful Reply -
