baking
What you'll need
•  3 springform cake pans (1 small, 1 medium and 1 large)
•  4 wire hangers
•  Gold Spray Paint
•  50/50 vinegar and water mixture (optional)
•  Paper towels (optional)​
•  4 chains
How to make them
1. Clean up your cake pans to ensure they're free of dust and dirt.
2. Spray multiple layers of gold paint onto the cake pans in a well-ventilated area. Make sure you wear a mask or eye protection and allow 5-10 minutes between spraying each new layer. If you want to go for an older/rough look, squirt a light mist of water/vinegar mixture onto the paint, then blot the excess mixture off with a paper towel. 
3. Leave the paint to dry for at least 24 hours. 
4. Drill four evenly-spaced holes on the edge of the large cake pan. Repeat for the small and medium cake pans, then add 4 more holes on the opposite edge of each pan.
5. Cut two sections of wire hanger that are larger than the diameter of the medium cake pan. Repeat for the small cake pan. For the larger cake pan, cut four 3-inch pieces and use the wires to attach the cake pans to each other. Feed the wires through the small and medium pan to attach them, then curve the wire to loop the medium pan to the large one.
6. Attach the base (small cake pan) to the chains and hang as a pendant light in a location of your choice.
