Trash to Treasure - Baking Pans to Holiday Decor

09 September
Baking pans are a great craft supply.


They are ALWAYS in stock at thrift stores and usually cheap too!


My inspiration for both of these pan projects was from Laurel at Chipping with Charm. I used some bundt pans and some round cake pans to make some fun fall decor!

I have had these in my random junk pile in the garage, and decided it was time to do something with them!

No... I didn't bake a cake, although a cake would be really tasty right now! 😄


Instead, my plan was to turn these into some fun fall and Halloween decor!

The bundt pans first got a coat of red spray paint. The round cake pans were painted black but I forgot to take a picture of that.

Then everything got a few coats of harvest orange craft paint.

This is what I made with the bundt pans. I'm sure you've seen these on Pinterest. I sanded the high spots on the pans and cut some oak leaves from vintage book pages.

The book page leaves were paired with a silk flower leaf and clamped onto some jute twine with a clothes pin that I stamped with the word "Fall".

I also added some small springs from a mattress I found at the dump. My dad and I took part of the mattress apart for the large bedsprings and these little ones were an added bonus.

I love how these turned out! One would be super cute hanging on the front door!


Now for the cake pans, I needed some more goodies.

I had all these in my rusty parts and pieces stash!

With these, I created some junk Jack-O-Lanterns!! This one got a paint can opener mouth, cast iron star and rusty washer eyes, and a little metal counter sample nose!


They were so fun to make, no real rules and I finally got to use some of my rusty junk!!

This one has a flower-shaped drawer pull and "Lucky" bottle cap eyes, and some weird random things for his nose and mouth.

They both got drawer pull stems and little tendrils made from green floral wire!
