I can't find stove burner covers I like, so I would like to put an image onto black ones - any idea how?

I want to put Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon” album cover onto stove burner covers for my house, but no idea how

The stove is not being used and these cover the burners and they have a flat top? Peel and Stick printer paper, clean the surface with alcohol and print the image on the paper and peel and stick. at least this is the way I might get it done!

@phil196662 has a great idea. You can also find self adhesive lamination. (8½×11 clear stickey paper). A cheaper way would be to use clear packing tape to tape your pictures on the covers.

Ahhhh- print them and use double sided sticky tape, the peel and stick will be more reliable.

you could decoupage them.

a word of caution for burner covers in general: i had them on my electric stove. one day silly me turned on the wrong burner (burner still had the cover on it) and almost started a fire. so just be careful no matter what you do.

When I cook I take all of them off!

@jca I’ve done that a time or two as well – I’ll have to remember to be careful :)

Another thought..
You could get plain stainless covers, trace the design on them and then using a small punch and hammer emboss the outline and then paint with high temp enamel. Or just use the paint.

Why not make ceramic covers? An image can be embedded in the glaze, they don’t conduct heat very well, are inflammable, and add protection as the burner cools down.
