Buy a cheap replacement impeller and use that instead of cutting up your needlewheel.
 
I think you need the needlewheel impeller(eithe the one you have or a replacement and then cut all the pins off. Then mount the mesh to the disk thats left.
 
You can mount mesh on a normal propellor. However, you will have to cut the blades to accomodate the mesh. Cutting the pins off the needlewheel is the easier and more efficient choice.
