Originally conceived to cover the dog bowl but now I have realised these food protectors are as efficient as the umbrella type food domes I have been using and much more space efficient.

Cut a circle of paper or card slightly larger than the intended bowl, laminate and trim the excess plastic to fit the circle ( both cuts can be done on a cutting machine or by hand). If you re laminate the trimmed circle the heat softens any rough edges you may have left.

I used some of my stash of letters to decorate the circle before laminating but these function without decoration.

The laminate may warp if used on hot bowls or over steaming hot foods but otherwise these easy wipe covers do a useful job.

The next batch will have new wording, after all – there are no flies on me!
