Cake Pan Wall Decor

I really hate to throw things out. Especially stuff that *I* feel has charm. Such was the case with these aluminum cake 
pans. They had a little rust in them so I didn’t want to bake in them anymore. But I did want to do SOMETHING with them.
Thus was born this display currently in my kitchen. These were pretty simple to make. I attached a metal plate hanger to the back of each cake pan. Make sure when you do this that you center the plate hanger on the cake pan so it will hang straight on the wall.
Now the candles. I used metal clips normally used on Christmas trees for clipping candles to branches. I found these online with no difficulty. They do hold a small taper, not a normal-sixed one, so you’ll have to make sure that you have (or buy_ candles of the right diameter - mine are about a half inch in diameter.
This is what the candles look light lit - I have had no problems with mine since all the parts, but the candles, in this project were mad ofe metal. If you do this, BE SURE that you feel very safe with having your candles lit. And, like with all candles, don’t leave them unattended.

PS. I had to take a picture of what they look lit lit and with the lights off. Here they are. Aren’t they great?

I couldn’t understand some parts of this article By Design : Cake Pan Wall Decor, but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.
