Clever repurposed tart tin crafts you can make with new and vintage molds!

Look for vintage jello and baking molds at flea markets and antique stores, or purchase them online to make these beautiful crafts.

I often find bags for just a few dollars, and I’ve picked up some pretty unique shapes! You can also buy new tins. These are the ones I purchased to make the mirror, and a few other crafts shown below.

1. Tart Tin Mirror

This decorative mirror may look complicated, but it’s simple to make. I used new tart tins, but you can also give new tins a rusty patina if you prefer. Learn how to make this beautiful mirror here –> How to Make A Decorative Tart Tin Mirror.

Mirror made of different shape tart tins in silver arranged in a round pattern on a silver round board with a small 5-inch accent mirror in the center over a table with vases and bowls in neutral tan.

Make this beautiful wreath in minutes without drilling or harming the tins! Get all the details on this easy project here –> How To Make A Vintage Tart Tin Wreath.

3. Magnets

Decorate tart tins and turn them into refrigerator magnets. Here I used mini birds and greenery for spring, but add any greenery and miniatures you like.

4. Shamrock Trinket Dish

If you have heart-shaped tins, transform them into a shamrock dish! I used Mod Podge and St. Patty’s Day napkins to decorate my tins. I then connected them to a shortened Dollar Tree wooden spatula by drilling two holes at the base of each tin. Then I attached them with wire and a little silicone adhesive to keep everything in place.

6. Garland

Make this fun garland out of tart tins! You don’t have to have bunny tins, though; use any shape from hearts to stars!

To make the garland, you’ll need a drill, wood beads, and a roll of 1-inch ribbon. Drill holes into the sides of each tin. Feed a bead onto the ribbon and then a tin, spacing them out evenly.

Bunny garland made from three round vintage bunny tart tins shown on a colorful spring ribbon. The ribbon has blocks of pink, green, spring green, fuchsia and orange. between the tins is a wood bead. This fun bunting is shown on the front of a vintage wood crate filled with spring greenery and a vintage bunny sign.

7. Tiered Tart Tin Organizer

This tiered organizer is great for holding jewelry and other small treasures! Get all the details on how to turn your collection of tins into a beautiful tiered organizer here –> DIY Vintage Tart Tin Organizer.

8. Miniature Baskets

Make a few tart tin baskets by drilling six holes into the sides of your tins and adding wire. I’m using 20-gauge stainless steel wire from the hardware store, wire cutters, and needle-nose pliers to curl the ends. Fill each basket with treats or festive miniatures to give as gifts or decorate for the holidays!

Mini baskets made out of vintage round scalloped tart tins and filled with fuchsia Hershey Kisses. To turn these small tart tins into baskets there have been six holes drilled around the edge and wire used to make a sort of bird cage looking basket. Topped with a purple satin ribbon ready for gifting!
