Burner Covers - Photo display

(background info: I love crafting and repurposing. I gave myself a challenge this fall to create a series of useful items very inexpensively with a material that could be easily found. I came across a 2pk of Burner Covers at the $1 store and said "That's it!" And since then I have ran with it having more ideas than time to create. You can see several of my ideas HERE in a TV segment I did or check the right sidebar for the links.)

I thought I would sneak in 1 last burner cover tutorial before the New Year rang in! By now you pretty much now the basics and probably have ideas of your own! Here is a fun way to display photos in a ROUND way instead of the typical square or rectangular frames available at the store. 

PHOTO DISPLAY

Materials:

1 burner cover (8" or 10")

spray paint or chalkboard paint

scrapbook paper

mod podge

clothespins (can be purchased at the $1 store as well)

Hot glue gun

scissors 

pencil

(if you give this a try you KNOW I would LOVE to see how you craft it up! Share your photo HERE)

Step 1: Choose to cover the burner cover with paint or paper. 

Paint - Spray and cover the entire top of the burner cover with any color spray paint desired or even chalkboard paint. Let dry between coats and repeat as necessary.

Paper: Turn the burner cover over, trace and cut the circle out. Apply mod podge to the paper and adhere to the right side of the burner cover. Let dry. 

Step 2: Clothespins: These can be spray painted but I usually cut strips of coordinating patterned scrapbook paper and apply to the tops of the clothespins with mod podge. 

Step 3: Position the clothespins around the burner cover using a hot glue gun. These photo holders can be created in ANY theme. Create one for the nursery, create one to hold notes or family photos for any room of the house! 

This one I created using chalkboard paint so I could write in the middle of it and/OR create a magnet to put in the middle for different themes or seasons of the year. 

Don't be afraid to layer! I layered 2 different papers into the middle to reinforce the saying and add a touch of whimsy for the nursery.

Have fun and don't forget to share your photos with me!
