Pretty Lightswitches

First off, let me apologize for deviating from my regular posting schedule.  Things have been a bit hectic here for the past few weeks.  Hopefully, I will be able to resume posting twice a week.

I have a quick and easy project today since it's too beautiful out to stay cooped up indoors.  Materials needed: a cool picture from a magazine or postcard, scissors, a light switch cover, x-acto knife, adhesive and sealant.

You may notice that there is no x-acto knife in my pic. I couldn't find mine. (Yes, I understand it is rather a dangerous thing to misplace.) I used my fabulous pink pocket knife as a substitute.

Cut your picture down to size using your scissors (if necessary).

I opted to use Mod Podge as both my adhesive and my sealant.  If you are using something thicker than normal paper/magazine paper, you may want to use a stronger adhesive.  Apply your adhesive liberally and affix your picture to the switch plate.

Use your x-acto knife (or other sharp-bladed object) to cut out the switch hole and screw holes.

Once your sealant is dry, hang your fancy new switch plate!

Easy peasy! Now get out there and enjoy this beautiful fall weather!
