Don't throw away those cake containers after you've eaten the contents. Two small cake tins make a sweet wall decoration in just a few minutes of your time!

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • 6-holed angle bracket
  • Heart-shaped cake tin - 3 inches
  • Circular cake tin - 3 inches
  • Permanent marker
  • Clamp
  • Masking tape
  • Drill
  • 2 nuts and bolts
  • Wrench
  • Plastic wall anchors
  • Screwdriver and screw
  • Candle
  1. Step 1

    Place the angle bracket against the back of the heart-shaped tin and one edge of the circle tin. Mark the holes in the bracket with a marker.

  2. Step 2

    Use the clamp to hold the tin and drill through the marks to make holes.

  3. Step 3

    Use the nuts and bolts to attach the anchor to the tins and drill a hole in the wall where you wish to hang it. Plug the plastic anchor into the hole and the screw through the hole in the heart tin and the bracket into the wall behind it.

  4. Step 4

    Add the candle.
