Not Just For Baking

Good Morning everyone.  Well October  has come and we are having some muggy weather here in Michigan.  I guess I am ready for some crisp fall weather.  The leaves are changing in color and starting to fall and the kids are all settled in at school and  I have a fun project to tell you about.  I had found these candlesticks at a garage sale for $1 and found these old baking pans for practically nothing.  My candlesticks could come apart and I thought it would be fun to combine the old baking pans and the candlesticks.  Here is the before picture:


I unscrewed the candlesticks and sprayed them with a hammered silver spray paint.  I wanted the base to kinda of match the baking pans.  I didn't want the bases to be black.  I than asked my husband to drill holes into the middle of each pan and I left the patina of the pans just like they were.  I liked the oldness of them.  I purchased some o rings from the hardware store and glued them on the base first and than added a pan.  I added the "o" rings for some stability.  The drilled hole was just big enough to slide down the base of the candlestick.  Than I glued the pan to the o ring.  I added another part of the candlestick and another o ring.  I did all my gluing with E6000.  I just love that glue and its does it's job!
I did 3 different size baking pans and the second one I did, I just did 2 different baking pans.
I thought I was finished making my stacked pans but I decided I needed some sort of handle in the middle of the top pan so I added.


 So I added a glass door knob to the center of the 3 stacked pans.

 And to the 2 stacked baking pans I added a crystal.  They just needed a little bit of bling.
So, what do you think?  I think they are a fun way to display or hold items and it saves on space.  I could see them on a table at a party holding lots of goodies or on a dresser holding lots of precious gems.  Until next time, Dianne....................
