With the scissors cut the plastic cup to make the blades. Cover the edges with hot glue so they are safe and you don't cut with the sharp edges. Paint it if you want.

Put inside the box all the circuit and glue it. When you have put everything in the right place check the motor still works well and glue the blades with the motor. Bend each blade to the right so the air moves in the right direction.
Enjoy it and have a great summer.
