| I've always wanted to make on of the painted fry pans - you paint (usually) a face on the bottom, then it hangs very nicely. One that I saw was a gingerbread face. |

| Oh I can't wait to see what it is! I am going to the Treasure Chest this morning to find me a couple! |
|
| Tennis rackets? LOL Also be prepared for a complete let down. You may not like what I have in mind :-) dcarch |
|
| Oh I've seen people make bird baths out of old pans. It's quite easy, all you do is remove the handle, drill a hole in the center, add a washer and rubber ring and attach it to a post. |
