“Not a moment of life is wasted on a farm. Others may have been more places but haven’t out lived me.”
–Jim Fisher, Texas Rancher
One of the things I love the most about heart of farmhouse style is the waste not want not philosophy. Sure you can buy all new items, but a true farmhouse makes use of what is on hand.
For this month’s Thrift Store Challenge, I used that same waste not attitude to make a DIY Farmhouse Round Shelf out of an unlikely find.
The Rules:
-
- Upcycle an item(s) from a thrift store, resale store, or garage sale into a new piece of decor.
- There’s no monthly theme.
- There’s no budget to stick to.

These little round farmhouse shelves are pretty popular right now. As soon as I saw them, I knew just what I was going to do.
I was going to use an item that most people have, but rarely use,one that is quite common at the thrift store……….a springform pan.
DIY Farmhouse Round Shelf
SUPPLIES
- Springform Pan
- Piece of Scrap Wood
- Saw (This is the one I use for small projects like this.)
- Glue
- Ribbon/Twine/Yarn (optional)
HOW TO~
- Remove the bottom piece of the springform pan.
- Take a piece of scrap wood and cut off any excess so the piece can lay in the middle of the pan (upright).
- Glue in wood piece.
- Optional – Not all the farmhouse shelves have the twine; some sit flat on the wall. If you wish, add the ribbon/twine to the lock mechanism of the pan.For mine, I used a piece that came around a sheet set. For a twine/yarn, you can use the same tying technique as here.
- Also optional, if you wanted to get super fancy, you could easily drill holes so your twine/ribbon could go on either side.You could also add chicken wire to the back as well.
Now, you are ready to decorate your farmhouse shelf as you like.

Oh. My. Gosh! I have wanted a shelf like this in my home for AGES! Definitely going to be looking for a pan like this come yard sale season so I can make one for myself. Pinned!
Chelc, Easy peasy and could be painted as well. Thanks for stopping by!
Super cute! lol… I’ve already got a springform pan and haven’t used it in YEARS!!!
Ann, I can’t wait to see what you do with your pan 🙂
Gosh, this is so cute.
Deborah, how innovative! I love it! I would never think of doing this, but it’s so clever & looks so good against your white brick wall.
Thanks Florence. I am happy with how it turned out.
I’ve seen so many round shelves but never have thought using an old springform pan to make one, clever!
Pili! I know…..it’s so fun to come up with a new idea. I’m so happy with how it turned out. Someone could easily paint it too if they didn’t want a rustic or vintage look.
Wow! This is so creative!! I never would have thought of this idea! I will definitely keep my eyes open for one of these pans!
Love it and what a great idea to use a springform for a shelf! Very clever! Sharing! Thank you for sharing on Merry Monday! Hope to see ya next week!

Hi Donna, Thanks so much for stopping by!
Oh my goodness, I have 3 of these flan rings in my “do something with one day’ cupboard and I’ve been thinking for years that maybe a shelf would be a good use of them but I wasn’t sure how to go about it. You’ve done exactly what I had in mind!
I’m going to get off my backside and actually make this happen!!! SO inspired. Thanks.
I hope you’ll come share this Tuesday at knickoftime.net. I think it’s fab!
