I started with three of these... laying them out.. to make sure they would 'connect' correctly.
One I was happy, I moved on to this...
I measured the wholes on the right side of the fan, so I could drill an equal hole on the left side... I figured that this time, I was going to string wire behind the fan to hang it...
Then came the drill! Whoop Whoop!
When I prime, I always use the Kilz. Good Stuff.
I let them dry, then painted them with an 'off-white.'
After that, I had laid out the letters that I wanted to stencil on...
Here's the letters traced..
... and painted!
' Hold me close, don't ever let go.'
And this is the back... I attempted this... I used little stick, like Popsicle sticks.. and used hot glue to attach..
Hot Glue Gun! Looks so.. 70's. I love it.
Final product, hung on my wall!
The bride enjoyed it.Got some rave reviews. Total Success.
The quote is from a song called 'Diamond' by Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers.
It's one of my favorites from them.

Your project is right before mine on power of paint. Great job on our sign. Love that song.
What a clever use for fan blades! I always see fans when thrifting but never thought to use the blades.
Wow. That's awesome - I love it!
