Planter

Planter This is one of my favorite ways to re-use a muffin tin, I mean other than to make cupcakes in it! Re-using a muffin tin as a planter is a great way to grow your clippings or cuttings from a larger mother plant. It’s also a beautiful way to display small plants like succulents or perhaps give them as a gift. I love the tips blogger annmarieloves.com posted when putting together her muffin tin planter and how adorable it is too!

Storage

Storage Muffin tins are great for storing and organizing small items like charms, buttons, screws, nails, etc. and make it a lot easier to find these items as well. I love this idea over on designeurlife.com to use the muffin tin inside your vanity drawer to organize and easily find hair accessories and such.

Photo Display

Photo Display If you have a 12 cup muffin tin, this is a great idea if you are celebrating your little one’s first birthday and want to display photos of his/her 12 months of growth. You can use the photo display for your child’s birthday party and then keep it up all year long! Check out this fun tutorial over on ampersanddesignstudio.com for more ideas.

Arts & Crafts

Arts & Crafts A muffin tin is a great way to store and organize your child’s arts & crafts while they are drawing, crafting, or painting. Instead of having everything in cups or all over the table during their play time, you can use a muffin tin for better organization and easier access for the kids. I love the way blogger Pauline over on blogs.ocfamily.com, filled up a muffin tin with sidewalk paint for her daughter to take outside.

Calendar Countdown

Calendar Countdown I’ve seen a lot of fun ideas to repurpose a muffin tin into an advent calendar for the holiday season like this adorable one on club.chicacircle.com. However, this calendar countdown can be used for more than just the holiday season. Use it for birthday countdowns, vacation, visits from family members, etc. It’s a great way to get the kids excited about events and to help them learn the days of the month. Plus, using a muffin tin as your calendar makes it easy to store the surprise gift behind the date!

Food Display

Food Display I have seen this idea used before, so it may not be “unique” but it is still pretty cool and maybe it’s new to you! If you are hosting a party and need something to display small food items, why not use a muffin tin, like this adorable s’mores display over on foundrentals.com. I’ve also seen it used for tomatoes, onions, and other food items for burgers - a great idea for an outdoor cook out! OK, now I’m hungry!
