I used it to hold the utensils on the table.
Here it is a picture frame with silk flowers. My little niece would LOVE the color!
With a small jar and a vintage floral print it becomes ready for fresh flowers.
Hang it on a wall and it will hold your desk accessories.
This is what it looks like flat... for easy transport to your next camp-out.
Here it is ready for the heat!

I found these Hot Orange Strerno Burners at the Alameda Antique faire and fell in love with the color and the mod flower cut-out  on the top. They fold down flat and when put together they form a box. You put the can of sterno inside and put your pot on top to make your tea or whatever. I turned them over and tried various ways to use them as containers, and this is what I came up with. I know there are many other things that could be done with these. Parchment paper inserted in the front  with a candle inside wiould give off a nice glow too... this could go on forever.

Did you make this?
After you make it, show it off to other members in the Member Junk area.

In the last picture (where it's standing up ready for heat), wouldn't it be great with a cloche sitting on top, and a little something inside??? Or as a little plant stand?

Thanks for sharing.

I remember when you got these! They are so Brady Bunch - especially with that orange flower design. Your idea came out just great. :-)
