Seven-inch deep dish pizza pans
+27
Dave "low-balls" auction lots without actually previewing the lots. Sometimes he wins.
This week, he won 64 7" deep-dish pizza pans for ten dollars (about 20 cents each, including bidder's fee and sales tax). We don't make pizza at home and we probably will never make pizza at home.
I'm looking for ideas on what to do with these pans...besides store them in the garage.
The insides are pretty clean. I'm going to test cleaning the outsides as they pretty sticky.

You could overlap a bunch in a circle and make them a giant cool metallic wreath. Or cut holes in the bottom and turn them into planters, or some kind of cool garden art?

The first thing I thought of was to use them for concrete stepping stone molds.

You could spray paint them rust resistant metal paint and add a strip of slip resistant tape and place them upside down in the dirt - would make great path between garden rows.

use them in an office, bathroom or pantry for organizing small item. Roll washcloths and fill for a functional and decorative display and paint or cover as desired. create modern wall art by painting the bottoms or decoupaging pictures on the center then attaching the sides or hanging individually. Use in kids rooms for small toy organization. Find a way to fashion legs , or a central stem and use outside as a bird feeder.

If you can't find a good use for them you can always sell them on eBay, Craigslist, or through your local Facebook resale page.

He who buys, should be responsible for repurposing! LOL Is there a gun club near you that could use them for shooting practice?

My first need would have been dog bowl but on the creative side they could be used for rustic/ industrial look light fixtures

Turn them down and drill hole in the middle to run a wire thru for hanging. Attach various pieces of vintage silverware In different lengths and use as rustic whimsical chime or porch ornament (maybe even some little bells, old garden hand tools or tubes could be used with the silverare. Or, you could make them into a fountain by fastening them together in a cascading fashion and installing a small water pump.... use your imagination. I really like them.

Put 3 chains between several then a hook at the top. Use for bird feeders, in the kitchen for small objects, planters, under the roof edge as water baths for the birds on and on and on.

@Suzanne Melton Well, if you don't find a use for all 60+ of them, I would buy several from you! (5-10 at least!) I work with hypertufa and these would make a great base for some of the 'tufa. Also had a thought to hang 2-3 like a rain chain but with small holes drilled in the bottoms. Use them as bird feeders and if it rains, then they won't fill with water and wash the seed away. Of course, some kind of decoration/bits and bobs would be added!

I want to drill little holes in them in the shape of initials, and insert white little christmas lights. To make little dorm sized marquee letters. You could sell that on ebay maybe. I also originally thought concrete forms.

love them, as what they are myself, that sure is allot of them. I know I would find a million silly things to do with them but little deep dish pizzas sound pretty good. lol

once clean, spray paint in colors that co-ordinate with your home or chalkboard paint & then enlarge or shrink favorite family pix & apply to the inside or out as desired, use pans as frames, I'd arrange them on a hall end wall [ or some where that you need some art] in the shape of an "M" for a family wall.

You can drill holes in the middle and add a rod to make tiers. you can use them for make up, jewelry, cookies etc. Decorate them for each season. Drill 3 holes in the sides equally spaced, add light weight chains and make hanging containers for storage in any room.

If you like decorations in your yard why not take a few of them and create flowers from them. I was looking at them and was wondering if there was a way to attach either wine or beer bottles to each pan. Spray the pans with a metal paint to look like the center of a flower, then attach another material to form the petals. Use heavy duty stakes for the stems, drill a hole in the bottom of the pan and put the stake through the hole. Do you have other things that your husband has bought on-line that you use for the petals?

Wow, there are a lot of fantastic ideas for the use of these pans. I'll have to keep some of these in mind for future projects. They would also be good for baking sticky/sweet buns, and molds for stepping stones. I would love to see some of the completed projects when you get to that point. @Suzanne Melton
