Update your ceiling fan with style using contact paper from the Dollar Tree for just $1.00

A creative, inexpensive way to update your ceiling fan – in just a few simple steps

I really didn’t like the dark brown fan blades, but; I liked the fan with the lights and didn’t want to spend the money replacing it. I can do a lot of things but replacing a fan is not one of them. I’m not an electrician. So, instead of having the fan replace I decided to do something creative on the fan blades to blend in with the rest of my home décor.

So, I’m going to show you a quick fix that you can do and save you a few dollars as well.

Maybe you have kids that love to paint and have ruined their clothes while making an art project. Don’t throw them away just yet.
