Looking to add some glam to your fan? Ronda has just the thing in 3 easy steps!

Glam Your Fan

1. Spray paint all the blades Krylon Classic Gray in gloss.

• ProTip: Gloss makes it easier to clean.

2. Find a great template! Print it out, trace it and cut it out of cardboard. Then trace the outline onto the fan blades.

• Ronda used one from Jones Design Company available here: https://jonesdesigncompany.com/decorate/painted-wallpaper-a-tutorial/

3. Then just paint the lines with a small craft brush and light gray craft paint.

Ta-da, a whole new look in just minutes!
