Do you hate to throw out those old fans that do not work and need some storage baskets in a craft room or garage then here is a very inexpensive one. I would paint it and you can even use an odd hanger from a planter. You can do 1,2,3 or whatever amount of baskets you need. Neat idea.

I have not done this yet but so will. I have been looking in stores for hanging wire baskets for my onions and potatoes and garlic. Now that I learned this, I'll be making my own. I see fans in the trash all the time. Looks like I'll be doing some garbage picking. Thank you so much for sharing this free DIY idea.

I was just about to throw out a broken fan when I decided to do a quick online search to see if it could be reused. I'm so glad I found this! I think this basket would work perfectly as a place to store fruit in the kitchen so it doesn't get crushed by other things. Thanks for the idea!

I don't know about this idea. It really looks junky. Maybe it would work in a garage but I don't know about someone's home. It would not work for me since I am short and don't like to do a lot of climbing. I will show it to my significant other and see if that would work for the garage. It could hold some odds and ends.

I wish I had that fan I got rid of a little while ago! This is a great idea and even if you didn't hang them, they could be used for storage containers. It would be fun to paint one an appropriate color and use it as a decorative container for odds and ends or seasonal decorations like pine cones or plastic Easter eggs.

I love this idea. I've got several torn up fans in the garage,(I never throw anything away!) but I'd never thought to make storage baskets with them. This is why I love this site and the sister sites. So many wonderful, fun and easy crafts, and this is definitely one I'll make soon!
