Thrifted Bundy Pan to Patio Planter

Thrifting for Inspiration

Do you like to thrift? I am obsessed with history (also why I live in an 1891 home). I love finding special heirlooms and wonder what they have experienced. There’s something special about finding a one-of-a-kind trasure that’s perfect to fit into your home.

The Problem and the Solution

For me, thrifting has been more than just a hobby; it’s been a way of life for the past 17 years I’ve been blogging and sharing. Over that time, I’ve discovered countless treasures waiting to be repurposed, from vintage clothing to furniture and beyond. But one of my favorite things to upcycle is clothes, and my latest project has been particularly satisfying: transforming a thrifted bundt pan into a charming patio planter.

A Creative Revelation

It all started with a simple problem: I wanted to add fresh flowers to our patio table for the summer, but the presence of a center umbrella meant any traditional planter would be off-center. Determined to find a solution, I began brainstorming creative alternatives. That’s when the idea of a planter with a hole in the center struck me, and bundt pans immediately came to mind.

Finding the Perfect Piece

With a clear vision in mind, I set off to my local thrift store, where I was met with a plethora of bundt pans in various shapes and sizes. After some careful consideration, I selected one with the largest center hole I could find, crossing my fingers that it would fit the bill. And much to my delight, it did!

Bringing the Vision to Life

With my thrifted treasure in hand, I eagerly set to work on my DIY project. The process was simple yet immensely satisfying. I filled the bundt pan with soil, carefully planting four vibrant geraniums along with trailing vines and filler flowers to add texture and depth. As I worked, I couldn’t help but admire the transformation taking place before my eyes.

A Beautiful Result

Once complete, I placed the planter in the center of my patio table, and the results were beyond my expectations. The bundt pan, with its intricate design and ample size, served as the perfect vessel for my floral display. And thanks to its circular shape, the planter looked stunning from every angle, adding a touch of beauty and charm to our outdoor space.

The Joy of Upcycling

But perhaps the most rewarding aspect of this project was knowing that I had given new life to an old, forgotten item. Instead of letting the bundt pan languish in a thrift store, it now serves as a focal point of my patio, bringing joy and beauty to my everyday life.

Embracing Creativity

So, if you’re looking for a fun and eco-friendly DIY project to try at home, I highly recommend giving thrifting and upcycling a go. Who knows what treasures you might find and what creative possibilities they might inspire? Whether it’s a bundt pan turned planter or something entirely different, the possibilities are endless when you let your imagination run wild.

Pin This Idea For Later

So head over to your local thrift store, rummage through those shelves, and see what hidden gems you can uncover. With a little creativity and ingenuity, you can turn the ordinary into the extraordinary, one upcycled treasure at a time. Who knows, your next DIY masterpiece might just be waiting for you to discover it.
