Don't Toss An Old Bundt Pan — Make Adorable Farmhouse Wall Decor

If you love the farmhouse style of interior design and are looking for a good DIY decor craft, you'll want to dig out that old bundt pan you shoved to the back of your cabinet. Or maybe you're not ready to go full farmhouse in every corner of the home; you're just trying to craft a farmhouse kitchen without overdoing it. This bundt pan DIY is the perfect place to start, giving your space just a touch of that rustic-chic vibe.

This beginner-friendly DIY involves turning an old bundt pan into an adorable hanging wreath. The great thing about this project is how versatile it is. You can turn a bundt pan into a themed wreath, featuring things like bees, flowers, or your favorite hobby, such as reading or gardening. It can be designed to match the existing color scheme of a room or it can be used as seasonal or holiday decor. Plus, bundt pans come in various sizes and designs, making each wreath completely unique.

A bundt pan is a great thrifted kitchen essential you can turn into beautiful wall decor, so if you don't already have one, head down to your local thrift store to pick one up. For this project, you'll also need paint, sponge paint brushes, and ribbon. Optional supplies include faux flowers, and any other decorative accessories you'd like to add to the bundt pan wreath, and a hot glue gun to attach those items to the wreath.

There are many ways to repurpose a bundt pan around your home, but few projects are as fun and easy as this decorative wreath DIY. If you're working with a used bundt pan, give it a good wash before starting the craft to remove any residual food or grease. Once it's washed and dried, you can take it outside or to a well ventilated room to spray paint it. The face of the wreath is going to be the back or bottom of the bundt pan, not the inside of the pan. So make sure you're painting the correct side. Allow the paint to dry completely.

You can add designs to the bundt pan, like polka dots by dabbing paint on with round sponge brushes or stripes by brushing paint on with a pinstriping brush. Or you can skip this step and leave the bundt pan a solid color. Once the painting is complete, you have the base of your wreath. To hang it, cut a strip of ribbon to your desired length and slide it through the center hole of the bundt pan. Tie it at the top to create a loop that can be hung on a hook or nail in the wall.

Options to embellish the wreath include gluing faux flowers around the ribbon at the top of the pan or adding a bow at the top of the ribbon where it hangs on the wall. Of course, your imagination and creativity are the only limit here. Hang the wreath with the flat inside of the pan facing the wall, so your newly decorated side faces out.
