Good afternoon - today I am starting a new series of articles on crafts for the kitchen... We will start with the simplest idea - and today we will paint frying pans. Moreover, this is an excellent opportunity to extend the life of a burnt-out frying pan with a damaged Teflon coating. This used frying pan can be used as a kitchen decoration. A beautiful craft for the kitchen can hang separately on the wall... or you can surround it with a flock of plates on the walls... you can beautifully decorate such a wall by nailing narrow shelves next to it and placing ceramics and frames. I have prepared several ideas for interesting crafts that will decorate the walls of your kitchen. Let's start making original crafts for the kitchen with our own hands.
Let me show you 3 ideas to make things interesting right away . Let's start with ideas for high-tech kitchens...
Here is a craft idea for a blue kitchen…. Careless graphics with rough strokes... It’s hard to call it a craft made from a frying pan - this is already a work of art.
Or here’s an idea for a craft for the kitchen in lilac tones... A schematic, laconic technique... an outline outline. Clear smooth lines, pure rich colors. This frying pan will become an eye-catching decoration on the kitchen wall...
If our kitchen is in a cozy classic style, then a woman’s head in the spirit of the same times will suit us... Like in the photo below - a Greek woman’s head with curls of hair
perfectly intertwined with the same smooth
curls on the kitchen facades
in the same light shade as the portrait itself. This frying pan craft can become a rare decoration on the wall of any kitchen.
Here is another theme for wall decoration. Tableware theme... Endless scope for imagination. If you have a kitchen in beige and chocolate tones, then the pattern on the frying pan may be similar to the traditional graphics made with a chocolate outline on an aged beige-bluish background.
I’m already specially selecting a series of such ideas for kitchen crafts in the dishes theme from old frying pans.
from an old frying pan for a beige kitchen...
Often beige tones in the kitchen are combined with a soft blue palette... and then the drawing on the frying pan can be done in the same tones... Ideas for thematic drawings can be found on the Internet and painted in exactly the same colors as the kitchen... That's how the idea with this bird – delicate pattern and delicate color.
Or the beige color in the kitchen is often combined with contrasting bright red... And then these same tones will be asked to decorate the wall - and then you can use them in a simple drawing on a frying pan...
Agree, even a child can draw such curlicues of flowers and butterflies. A simple kitchen craft that the whole family can do.
And if you want to give such a frying pan to your newlywed friends , then let the wall be decorated with a beautiful wedding motif... Here is a ready-made idea for decorating a beige kitchen...
Or these simple stencil ideas for crafts for the kitchen... the contours of the newlyweds don’t even have to be drawn - you can simply cut them out of black adhesive film... and stick them on a frying pan... (we first paint the frying pan white)
But the ideas of lovers are in white, black and red colors. Choose any sweet couple and draw a craft for the kitchen on a white background of a frying pan for your own pleasure. One after another, the frying pans will become unusable and over time, the walls of your kitchen will be hung with a whole row of frying pans with happy inseparable ones.
And of course, such craft pans can be given to friends on Valentine’s Day...
How to turn kitchen utensils into stylish decorative accessories
Don't rush to part with unnecessary dishes. From the remnants of your favorite tea set, a beautiful lid from a broken sugar bowl, spoons and forks that lie idle, you can get exclusive decorative items for your home or summer cottage.
A fountain made from a rusty vintage teapot and a wooden barrel is not an easy idea to implement, but it looks very impressive.
Not everyone can replicate a fruit dish made from old cutlery either. Although all you need is a mountain of unnecessary spoons, forks and knives, superglue and strong fingers to bend metal. Of course, no one forbids using pliers.
You can simply attach curved spoons and forks to a rectangular multi-colored piece of wood that is attached to the wall as decoration. So you have a hanger or pendant for keys.
Those who know how to use a drill can do the experiment with their old kettle. What if you also manage to get him to give your home such lacy lighting?
A chandelier made of knives and forks may appeal only to thrill-seekers. Bizarre shadows on the wall and metallic tinkling from the slightest movement or draft... Gothic and exotic.
But a chandelier made of only spoons does not look intimidating, but romantic. Real metal flowers. Snowdrops or tulips.
A lonely elderly ladle on the wall will not be so gloomy if you introduce it to a beautiful candle. Isn't it true that it turned out to be an interesting candlestick?
An old sieve or round iron cookie boxes nailed to the wall will make an equally interesting holder for small round candles.
An unnecessary grater will do for storing jewelry. How many earrings can you hook on?! For elegance, you can attach intricate legs to the grater. Surely, men will also find something that can be stored this way.
An ordinary glass jar will make a cute storage for a sewing kit, and a cup will make a cute pincushion.
A few plates that have been collecting dust in the closet for a long time as unnecessary will do the job of a mini-fence for your flowerbed.
Use unnecessary plates to make an interesting bird feeder.
And if cups and saucers are placed on twigs, they will turn into birdbaths.
Decorating walls with beautiful plates is not a new idea. But even here you can use your imagination.
Old lids from a sugar bowl and a teapot will become a convenient holder for all the necessary little things in the kitchen - scissors, pencils, towels.
If you attach the remains of the tea set to the finished shelf with glue, you will get a strange, but quite functional hanger.
Old enamel mugs also look beautiful as storage units for small items. For country decor - just right.
An ordinary tea cup is a godsend for home-grown interior designers. A curtain holder, a container for storing jewelry, a Christmas tree toy - all this can be made from an ordinary cup.
Place several cups upside down on slightly larger saucers - that's a pile for sweets.
Nowadays, many people are interested in making their own scented candles. So why buy special molds if you can make candles in cups that no one drinks coffee from anymore?
It is ideal when the color of the wax or stearin is in harmony with the color scheme of the cup.
If you attach cups, a saucer and a milk jug to the candlestick, you will get a whole set of everything you need for a romantic tea party.
A colander as a lampshade is, at least, not trivial.
But using cups instead of lampshades, you can make unique lamps that will add a special flavor to the interior of the kitchen or dining room.
A cup can be turned into a night light if you attach a beautiful transparent cup to the fittings of the simplest lamp.
Cup-lampshades in the wall are a very stylish and unusual decoration for the kitchen.
From the remnants of the service you can build the base of a floor lamp. To do this, you just need to drill holes in all the base elements and connect them with ceramic glue.
The remains of tea sets or individual cups (it’s okay, even if they are of different sizes) can easily be turned into a spectacular chandelier.
The variety of possible tableware chandeliers is limited only by your imagination.
A chandelier made of plates laid out in such a shape is a stylish piece of furniture.
Compositions of plants in disused dishes are now a fashionable decoration for a coffee, coffee or dining table, bedside table or chest of drawers.
Unnecessary dishes can be easily turned into an original flowerpot.
Do not throw away a teapot whose lid has broken; it will come out as an original flowerpot.
A resourceful housewife uses any old dishes in her garden design.
Even an old rusty grill becomes a nice flower bed.
Beds or flower beds can be decorated directly on the wall if you plant the plants in transparent jars.
And in the most ordinary white glass bottles with a high neck, plants look great. To do this, the bottles need to be attached to the wall with metal holders. If you choose tightening clamps as fastenings, you can remove the bottles and wash them.
Dwarf succulents (plants that retain moisture for a long time) are planted in mini-pots made from wine corks with magnets. By the way, do not forget to occasionally water such vegetation with a teaspoon.
If you place a garland in an empty bottle, leaving the fork outside, you will get a simple decoration for a romantic evening or for celebrating the New Year.
By the way, you can use egg cartons to store glass Christmas toys.
It turns out that broken dishes in the house are not only fortunate, but also beautiful. Shards of broken dishes are used for mosaics, for example, table tops, chair seats. Surely no one will have such a unique thing.
The remains of beautiful dishes as tiles on the kitchen wall are an original solution.
There are people who spend years collecting the most beautiful cups and plates from friends and acquaintances in order to one day create such a masterpiece.
The dial and hands can be attached to anything. Therefore, a large old plate, an unnecessary frying pan, or a tea set will make a lovely watch.
One of the most creative ideas for using old household utensils is a mirror framed with assorted broken dishes and cutlery.
Even decorations are made from dishes. If large cups or bowls “successfully” break, sand the edges and wear the remains of the beautiful dishes now as jewelry.

Modern ways to bring old frying pans back to life
The problem with old cast iron frying pans is a large amount of soot and the appearance of rust. The most difficult thing is to remove the carbon deposits. This is not only difficult, but also a very long process. Try using a special aerosol to remove carbon deposits from gas ovens. Spray the pan and seal it tightly in a plastic bag.
Repeat the procedure every day (preferably twice a day) until the carbon deposits are washed off. How long it will take depends on your diligence, luck, the age of the pan and the amount of soot. But in any case, don’t expect a quick victory. After the carbon deposits have been removed, wash it well to remove any remaining chemicals, calcinate it well, pour a little sunflower oil on the bottom, and enjoy it to your health.
Along with the carbon deposits, the rust will also be washed off. Don’t worry about this, don’t take into account the various advice from “blondes” who only saw the frying pan in their mother’s hands. Nowadays you can find so many, to put it mildly, exotic advice (written, of course, by these same blondes) that your head is spinning.
I recently read some advice on how to carry out the first calcination of a cast iron frying pan - God bless! This anonymous person advised heating a cast iron frying pan in the oven, just think about it, up to +550°C!!! Then take it out from there and rub it with a napkin soaked in olive (always olive) oil!!! I can’t give a link to this “smart” site, it will be considered advertising.
The hair on my head is moving from such advice. The girl confused the oven with a blast furnace, and I can no longer imagine the process of rubbing a frying pan heated to +550°C with a napkin with olive oil (I wonder, first cold press or maybe a second press?) I can no longer imagine, either it’s scary, or it’s just not imaginative as developed as that of this “experienced” adviser.
