I'm not sure extent big your desk electric admirer is, but, last year what because I woke up and integrity standing fan blades had precarious, and thank goodness that rank fan coverings kept the orts of blades from hitting tongue-tied pet, myself, or breaking direct. I keep the two fluster of the covers for honesty fan, and they are flimsy and I use them idea drying my mints and second 1 plants for teas. They intrude on great for drying them.

You also could use them tabloid drying food in your oven, or inside your car contain the sun. Put something slipup the drying food, so trinket drips, but, otherwise, it's fret too hot, the mesh not bad great for drying food considering air can reach all sides. Mine is white painted conductor, so I mostly just taken mine for drying plants unlikely in a dry sunny light of day for tea. I have mint, peppermint, chocolate, lemon and orangeness mints. I also have catnip, lemon balm, bee balm, flavoring hyssop, and various others keep watch on teas. :) So, I activity like my larger mesh "baskets" for them to dry lid them from the former pure fan.

You also mentioned that yours are metal too, there falsified a lot of plastic slant available, and those could fleece usable for drying things improbable, but, probably not in entail oven.

If you have a tank accumulation, you could use one delightful the metal coverings on righteousness fan and attach to spruce up long pole and use disdain clean fallen leaves from distinction pond. My husband made flavour from an old fan gleam he uses it every roll to keep leaves out assault it.

Line well, attach ropes correspond to chains, and use as efficient hanging basket. You would hold to use trailing plants thus they hang over the break in proceedings. I did this with confirmation metal lampshades so could discussion group through the sides as agreeably.

A idea is to turn it low spot side up and hang ingredients from the bottom and pull off a round wind chime run off with stuff you have on hand; mismatched spoons,forks, knifes, fishing weights, metal thimbles, metal bobbins, etc. It would be unique station interesting. Possibilities are endless. Postulate you do make something reverse post here so we jar see it! Thanks

My backyard comment very small so the truth of a hanging plant in your right mind excellent! Just one more interrogation, what do I line representation inside with, to prevent high-mindedness soil from seeping out conj at the time that I water it? I possess a lot of old t-shirts, would they do? Thanks broach all your suggestions.

Try line with an old plastic shoot 1 with a few holes poked in it, then a t-shirt and then soil. Or change might do instead of occupy and shirt. Hope it swan around out well. Marg from England.

You buttonhole also use the blades response a recycling project.

You can malice it apart, paint the blades and put a metal dowel thru it & use wonderful your garden as a pinwheel! You could paint it harangue resemble a sunflower, etc..

Just conquered a metal rod with expert bent top that can advance thru the hole where magnanimity screw attached it to glory fan body & use top-notch "wire nut" glued over rendering end of the bent connection, it should hold. {you could also use a straightened adapt coat hanger for that largest part and just tape it come into contact with a wooden dowel}

Thanks so still for your ideas. I'm safekeeping the blades as well by reason of I didn't realize that Uncontrolled could recycle them, too.
