I am loving my new light switch covers. I had read somewhere that you can put paper on light switches with mod podge. It had been on my bucket list forever but with the new kitchen re-do, I knew I wanted to do it soon. I picked out a paper that I love. I thought it might be too busy but if you look at it from a distance, it doesn't look busy at all.
I started by tracing on the back of the paper. The sketch below is kind of how I cut out the paper. The red is where I cut. It worked out perfectly when you folded it over the cover. I completed 5 switches in about 30 minutes.
Hi! I just found your blog thru the Keeping in Simple Linky Party. I LOVE this idea. I have several 4 switch covers and they are very expensive to uprgrade from the builders basic. This will work. Did you use extra coats of modge podge or just one?

So cute. Do you think you can Mod Podge with fabric too?
ReplyDeleteVery nice! When you consider that paper is a good medium, the possibilities are endless. (And to Jen, I'm pretty sure you can use fabric too.)
