I am pretty excited to announce that I have joined a BRAND NEW bi-monthly challenge hosted by Gail of MyRepurosedLife. This one is focused around dollar store DIYs!
The beauty of challenges (vs. just doing projects around the house that I need or want to do) is that they tend to push me much further and make me even more creative. I definitely feel that this project is an example.
I repurposed these baking pans into holiday decor I never would have come up with otherwise!
It is adorable on my front door:
The supplies are pretty easy to find at Dollar Tree:
Pie Plate
Pizza Pan
Cake Pan
Kid's winter hat
Spray Paint
Buttons
Fabric Snamawatch for scarf
Hot Glue and Glue Gun
vinyl for face (or you could draw it on with a Sharpie)
First I spray painted the back of all the pans. You will want to rough up the surface with sand paper to get the paint to stick.

Next I added the face and buttons. I cut mine out on my Cricut but you could draw on a face with sharpie.
I glued the pans together where they overlapped.
I used an outgrown hat for the head, but you can find inexpensive winter hats at dollar tree for only$1!
I hung it on the front door with double stick tape. It isn't very heavy but it is quite delicate.
You could also just prop it up, or even add it to a stake to be used in your front yard.
It's beginning to look a lot like christmas!!

Love it, and since I'm not so good at baking...I could use those pie tins stashed under my cabinet!
