Sometimes I buy things at Goodwill for no reason at all.  These mini bundt cake pans that I got for .50 a piece are an example.  I have no idea why I brought them home with me last spring.  I don’t really bake, unless you consider making Tollhouse cookies from the pre-made dough tube to be baking.  These mini bundt cake pans were turned into adorable pumpkins for fall decor!

So these little bundt cake pans sat in my basement until I got the idea to make them into pumpkins for some fall decor in my kitchen!  Turn mini bundt cake pans into pumpkins for your fall decor! These are a perfect fall decoration for the kitchen or anywhere else in the home!
