I have long noticed that few people throw out old pots and pans. The main problem with the pan is that it is leaky, and the frying pan gets carbon deposits over time. Moreover, coatings now have an expiration date; if products begin to stick to the surface, nothing can be done, be it clean or not.
I keep them in the barn on the top shelf, and over time they go around the house. Either I’ll make a flowerpot from a saucepan, or a clock from a frying pan.
If you remove all the protruding parts in the pan, you will get a metal bowl from which you can make a bread box.
You can even come up with different models. For example, refine the metal and make a lid. You will get a container in which sliced ​​bread or cookies will be stored.
I will have a larger bread box with a fabric top.
A material with a water-repellent effect is perfect here. I have pieces of Dusk fabric left over from sewing curtains. This is a dirt-repellent fabric with Teflon impregnation. Just perfect for the bread box.
I boiled the frying pan with soda so that all the fat disappeared, rubbed the carbon deposits, I couldn’t do anything else, the main thing was that it was clean.
The plan is:
1) Cut out a circle of fabric larger than the bottom itself and glued it to the outside. I used PVA glue.
2) I cut out another circle larger; it should cover the inside of the frying pan and curl outward.
3) The bread box will be covered with a cover. To do this, I measured the circumference of the pan with a measuring tape and cut out a rectangle.
4) I stitched the seam and overcast it. The top edge of the cover was folded and stitched.
5) For the ties, I cut out drawstring strips of fabric 5 cm wide. I stitched them just below the edge. There are open spaces on the sides for the cord.
6) Place the cover on the pan and glue it with hot glue.
7) For decoration I used cotton rope.
How to insert the cord:
You will need 2 identical segments.
- First, the cord is threaded through one hole, then it goes around in a circle and returns from where it started.
- The second cord is threaded in exactly the same way, but from a different hole.
Ready!
All you have to do is pull the cords on both sides, and the bread box pulls together.
All the best!
