Cute! One of the things (if maybe one of the very, very few things) I don’t like about Texas is the need for a ceiling. When the mercury hits north of 100 in the summer, we HAVE to use our ceiling fans. I’m always looking for new ways to make them look like a piece of design. Great job (as always)!

Very good point, I should have stressed the importance a little more in the tutorial. Thanks.

Thanks! The fan blades were mdf ( not real wood) so when I sanded the edges more, it got down to the more porous material and it absorbed more stain. Or you can always layer your stain around the edges and let is sit for a little longer and then wipe off excess. Thanks for reading, and good luck!

Love the way this turned out! I have an ugly white fan I have been thinking about redoing. I love how the fan blades came out too! How did you get the edges darker?

Just a quick tip. You need to be careful when trimming fan blades like this. If they are not all equal, it will throw the fan off balance, which will either cause a severe wobble, and/or wear the motor out prematurely.
