How big does it have to be? If its a scale model, go to a hobby/model store and get an airplane propellor.

Since you are talking about a small homemade turbine Im assuming there isnt going to be a lot of torque involved, so the blades dont need to be that efficient. Why not cut up someegg cartons and use the cups to catch the wind. You could even mount this kind of thing on a vertical axis
