Build a Discreet USB Air Conditioner with a Brita Pitcher

Step 4: Building the Index Card Structure for the Fan Part 2

With the fan facing upside down (bottom side facing up).  Fold up the index cards to form the stand for the fan. It should look like a box  with an open view of the fan.  If you know how to gift wrap a box, this should be fairly easy. If not, look at my pictures. Straighten out two paper clips. Then bend a 90 degree angle at the middle of each clip. Tape the paper clips along the edge of the index card fan stand.  The paper clips will reinforce the stand's structure.
