If you don't already think I'm quirky in the way my brain works, just wait until you see what I did with this "junk". Is it junk, really? You know it's not. It's what I adoringly call
trashure. Now, let's have some fun and make an upcycled bread pan caddy. {{doing the cabbage patch}} Just thought I'd date myself a snip.

I'm sort of addicted to old bread pans because they have so many uses. Here are a few things I've created
in years past. Can you guess what the pan is attached to in the second picture?

Okay, so up above in my first picture you're looking at are a set of mini bread pans. I couldn't resist their calling to me at the thrift store. Plus, a bit of yummy hardwood from my wood stash that my brother gave me.
My goal is to create a pair of upcycled bread pan caddies that can be used in any way you see fit. It just so happens that the two boards are already the same width. However, they are also the perfect length, but just need cut to size.
DIY TIME
After I used my miter saw to cut them, I used my drill to make holes for attaching the handle. And, then I also needed to add holes for the knob feet I'll be adding. That center line will be for the ¾" width of the board I cut off for a handle.
Once I cut it, I then used my jig saw to cut out a handle shape.

I'm aiming for simple, so here is a rough idea of how it will be set up in the end...
THE REVEAL
After a bit more magic wand waving, here's why I envisioned in my brain come to life. Ta da!

I've staged it here on my kitchen table with a salt & pepper set on one side and coasters on the other. However, it could be used in any way you see fit. Bathroom toiletries holder, kids crayon caddy, art supply storage...you get the idea.

So, I'm curious...what would you use it for? Would you have done something else with them? Let us hear it!

If you would like to make one of these your own, I have two available in
my online store along with many other goodies. They come with the coasters and shakers. woot!

In addition, do pin and share my little creations. Inspire someone to grab those bread pans too and make something for their own home story.

Up next is
Trash to Treasure Tuesday. Wait until you see what I did with this Curb le Chic find. eep!
