Vintage muffin pans don't always have to hold muffins. I painted this one a soft pink and then added mint green in every-other cup and around some of the edges of the pink cups and the outside edge. I sanded it as I would a wood piece to shabby it up a bit. The colors look good enough to eat!

Doesn't it look much better as a jewelry tin or trinket tin?

    Robelyn, I know you are a sucker for bling (even cheap costume bling like me?) For some reason I love the green and pink together!

    Thanks, Janna - easy to come by the old tins and easy to transform. Have fun!

    I like the idea of painting these. I have quite a few. May go grab the spray paint can tomorrow!

    Have fun Jill! I'm sure they would look great in Prim colors too.
