Repurposed Cake Mold Sunflower DIY
Sunflowers are the queens of the late summer garden! They stand tall and proud over their neighbors and can’t help but bring a smile to your face. Today I’m going to share an easy Repurposed Cake Mold Sunflower DIY with an old bakeware pan I picked up at the thrift store.
Assemble your materials:
- an old cake molded cake pan. If it's not yellow already, you could spray paint it.
- a styrofoam cone
- brown felt
- brown buttons
- faux hydrangea leaves
- hot glue gun
- fabric glue
Directions:
- Cut the styro cone to fit the middle of the cake mold fairly tightly.
- Glue brown felt around it to cover all the styro. (you could use tacky fabric glue also.
- Hot glue brown buttons to the top of the styro covered in felt. Cover it completely, layering the edges.
- Glue a couple faux leaves to the edges, right sides facing front.
- Glue a piece of leather for a hanger, or drill a hole in edge.
- Get rid of any glue strings by melting with a hair dryer.
This upcycled sunflower will be adorable in your late summer, early fall decor!

My mother loves sunflowers; her mom passed away and she always had sunflower decor and I think it helps my mother cope with her loss.. I’m going to make one of these and I know she will just love it on her porch. Thank you for the idea! I also have ALOT of multicolor brown buttons with NO HOME. Lol.
