Cake Pan Burner Covers

A Trash to Treasure craft project! Recycle cake pans and make yourself a set of artistic stove burner covers!

Are you tired of looking at those ugly burners? Well cover them up with dollar store cake pans (that's where I bought mine). Note: I have an electric stove

You don't have to be artist - just paint like you did in grade school...

Cake Pan Burner Covers


Supplies:

  • 8 inch cake pan for the small burners
  • 9 inch cake pan for the large burner
  • acrylic paints - white for the base, plus any other colors you need for your design
  • sealer - I used a brush on gloss.
  • rubbing alcohol

Burner Covers from Cake Pans


Instructions:

Clean the bottom of the cake pan with rubbing alcohol, you will actually see some metal paint or dust from the pan. Let air dry, and don't touch with your hands. We have lots of oil on our hands.

Now paint on two coats of white paint, making sure you go one way, from one end to the other end, in a brush stroke. Let dry for a couple of hours.

Now paint on any design or scenery you want. If doing a scenery, I started with a darker blue at the top, working lighter blues towards the middle, ending with a dark green at the bottom working the lighter greens towards the light blue. I'm no artist, but I don't think I did too bad - and my kids liked the picture!

Let dry a day, and brush or spray on a sealer.

Caution: Do make sure that your stove burners are turned off and cold before topping with your masterpiece.

This is supposed to be for recycled crafts. Buying the cake pans at the dollar store defeats the purpose of the craft.

Your point is well taken. If you don't have cake pans, perhaps you could ask family members to donate their old ones, or pick up some at the thrift store!
