Bundt Pan Wreath

About a year ago, I came across an old orange bundt pan at a thrift store. It's really seen better days - the coating on the inside is flaking off, the orange on the outside is scratched in places and I really just didn't feel right using it to cook. Who knows how much of that inner coating would wind up in my cakes? Yikes.

Thanks to the trusty Pinterest, I came across the idea for a bundt pan wreath. I started with these materials:

Don't ask about what happened to the scissors - it involves an inattentive crafter and a teething puppy.


I also used my hot glue gun and some wire, but I forgot to throw those in there for the picture.


I strung my ribbon through the center of the pan to make the hanger and hot glued the ends together. Then I made a little bow to go over the top where I planned to actually hang the wreath. I used some wire to attach the bow to the strip of ribbon and made a little hook to hang it on. I could get the wreath to hang by slipping the nail through the holes in the burlap, but I wasn't sure how long that would hold before pulling the burlap out of place.

The pan looked pretty plain just sort of hanging on the burlap, so I surfed the web for some good felt flower DIY instructions. I found the perfect one here. Do be careful with the hot glue - I've got two nice burns on my fingers to show for my hard work this afternoon!

I'm really pleased with how the flower came out. The grey one is from the instructions on the diaryofamadcrafter blog. She used another piece of felt for the middle of the flower, but I used a little wooden bead that I had in my craft room. The little cream flowers were super easy - just use something as a template for a circle, cut the circle out of the felt and then cut the circle into a spiral. I just wrapped the spiral from the bottom out, putting a dot of glue on as I went along. Easy peasy.

I hot glued my flowers onto the pan and voila! The perfect kitchen wreath.

I love it, and it's available on my Etsy shop if you love it, too :)
