Light Switch Plate Covers

Mod podge + scrapbook paper = new/pretty light switch plate covers!

I originally saw a picture of a plate cover on Pinterest (with no instructions), & then Googled it to get some ideas on how to actually do it.

What I did (I will try my best to give proper instructions)... ;)

1) Cut a piece of scrapbook paper a little bigger than the plate cover. Cut out the space for the switch in the middle (I put the cover face down on the back of the paper & traced it, then cut).

2) Apply mod podge to the plate & apply the paper, lining up the hole for the switch.

3) Apply mod podge on the sides & the edge on the back of the plate (I did the long sides first then once dry, the top & bottom). This sort of wraps the paper around to the back.

4) Apply 2-3 coats of mod podge on the paper, letting it dry between each coat (this is supposed to make for easier cleaning/endurance).

5) Once completely dry, I just put it up to a light & pushed the screws through to make their holes.

6) Attach plate to the wall.
