Hi all! Today I want to share with you my Diy Patriotic Sign Made Out of a Fan Blade. A few weeks back I had a chance to go to Habitat for Humanity, and I never pass up on a chance to go there or any thrift store. The prices have gone up but I still found a few items like this crackled finish fan blade for $1. I bought all 6, I just love this crackled finish, don’t you?

Since I need to get busy on my Patriotic projects before the 4th of July comes and goes, like Memorial Day did for me. When I seen these fan blades with the crackled finish I thought to myself that it would be perfect in some kind of patriotic decor.

I was afraid with the slick finish that it wouldn’t hold paint very well. So off to my favorite store, Hobby Lobby! I picked up some unfinished wood letters USA, and a cute wood star ornament already painted like the American flag. Which would be perfect for my project that I had in mind.

Once home I cleaned my fan blades.

Next, I painted the letters with two coats of acrylic paint using red, and blue. They came already painted white.

Then I laid them out in place on my fan blade.

Using Gorilla Glue, I glued each one down in place.

I first removed the twine from the American flag ornament before gluing it to the bottom of my fan blade.

Using the twine that I removed from the ornament I strung it through the top hole of the fan blade for hanging the Patriotic sign. This Diy Patriotic Sign Made Out of a Fan Blade was another simple project, just a little painting, gluing, and all done.

Looks like I’m going to have to make another one if I want to take one to my craft booth. The hubby is ex-military and very Patriotic, once he’s seen my Patriotic sign he laid claim to it. Good thing I have five more fan blades.

    Linda, I love this! So quick and easy, but really packs a big punch! I can see why the hubby laid claim to it and I bet it will be snapped up at your booth in a second!

    Well done Linda. That crackle effect gives loads of character to the fan blade. It is truly a very pretty sign. I also like the star with the flag on it.

      Thank you Mary! I do love the crackle effect, and had to have the fan blade as soon as I seen it. I bought all six, LOL. I went looking for a plain star when I seen this one, so I snatched it up.

    I LOVE your fan blade sign Linda. It looks rustic and elegant and proudly American. No wonder your hubby laid claim to it. I wouldn’t want to let it go either.

      Thank you Carolann! I wish that I had the sense to save fan blades a few years back. We put in new ceiling fans in all the bedrooms and living room in our last house. I could kick myself now knowing all the blades that got thrown out.

    I’m just now seeing the fan blade decor and I love it, think I’ll make one for my grandsons’ bedroom. Maybe I’ll change the “USA” to his initials or shorten his name. Anyway I’ve subscribed to your site and I love the art I’ve seen so far.

      Thank you Carolyn! I’m sure your grandson would love it. That would be really cute with his initials or name. I am happy to hear that you are enjoying my craft projects. Thanks so much for stopping by!
