Some home things become almost family after prolonged use. And I would have to throw them away, but the hand is not raised. But if you want to keep them as a souvenir, then you just need to figure out how to give them a second life, but in a different capacity. And many of this maneuver turns so successful that the result exceeds all expectations. An example of this transformation of the old edition of the pan HouseChief found in a letter from Marina Koltunova Kirov.
Good afternoon! I enjoy reading your column materials, and often find myself thinking that if every time I photographed their own home-made, that too could fill up this collection. And that's when I got a new idea, I decided to try to capture the entire process. Let me start by saying that I had somehow good pan. For many years it remained my favorite, long time and daily use has not brought it down. Once I even put it in the trash, but then pulled out and decided to think of something appropriate. It's not just a piece of aluminum, it is a hard worker who helped to prepare a variety of delicious meals for my family. Maybe it sounds strange, but then I thought that way.

What can be done from an old pan
The desire to give my toiler second life led me to look for different options. The first thing I thought, this is the mini-garden for succulents. Why not fill it with sand and small cactus plant? In width it just grew on the windowsill, so well suited for this task. But any flower pots need a drain and sump. The holes drilled in the bottom of the can, and here is how to find a pallet of this size? I could not think of anything suitable.
The second visited me the idea - the kitchen clock. Nothing complicated, just need to insert the mechanism into the pan, and it itself to paint some relevant motive. But the clock in the kitchen I have, and they are also very expensive to me. And, to be honest, with the painting I do not have.
And here I helped the case. Children playing with a ball and smash me sconce over sofa. And hopeless. Then it dawned on me.
And you sawed the pan?
For my ideas I had to make two pans of the same parts.
Cases electric
To make the lamp, it took me a cartridge, power cord with a toggle switch and LED lamp.
Final assembly of the candlestick out of the frying pan
When the electricity connection was held, work lamps was tested, I have only to complete the assembly.

Perhaps more interesting would be obtained if the paint is a wall lamp by hand. But, as I said, the talent for drawing I have not. But even so, in my opinion, it came good. That's my favorite pan got a second life, and I - a comfortable bra with a shelf for books. I wish you successful experiments and new ideas!
Agree, Marina turned out very well! The original idea, as a result, led to the fact that the lamps look like an accessory in a modern style. This can adopt and use at home. A video on another version of the conversion of the frying pan into the lamp:
