Aluminum food pan decoration
by
Joan
I am having thirty people for Thanksgiving and need to use those ugly aluminum pans for the food. Any ideas on how I can decorate them after they come out of the oven?

Will you have the pans on a buffet table? I feel like dressing the table up would be the way to go. Check out these posts for ideas: http://www.hometalk.com/search/posts?filter=thanksgiving+buffet+table+decor

That is a challenging question. I originally looked at this wondering what kind of answers you would get so future uses...all I could think of was transfer food to another containers, put them in chafing dishes (which would be costly if you don't already own some or can borrow some). Then an idea hit me.....using cardboard, custom design a holder to fit your aluminum pans and then cover with paper, fabric or paint. You not only cover the pan, but make them their on heating pad to protect counter tops and might even insulate them a little to help keep the dish warm longer. There are a lot of ideas for decorating boxes for storage on here and Pinterest, maybe that would give your some ideas. Washi tape, burlap, scrap book paper...just a few ideas.
