I’ve been slowly getting little things done in each of the kids’ bedrooms. On one wall, my daughter’s room has a little cluster of switches. I thought I could dress them up a bit. It was a lot easier than I thought too! But I can’t help myself with these little details.
What you will need:
-Mod Podge
-Fabric
-Small Foam Brush
-Cheap Light Switch Cover
She got to choose the fabric she wanted. It’s a thinner fabric, not to have much bulging while putting it on.
I figured out which parts of the fabric I wanted to show up on the switches and cut around it.
Better to over-cut than have to cut again because I didn’t have enough.
Slapped on the mod podge.
Then I covered the switch with the fabric. I then cut out square sections on the corners so they could just overlap versus having too much fabric in my way.
Added some more podge and folded the edges down. I did go around the edges and put a little more podge to prevent fraying or peeling off.
That’s it! Now to cut my holes.
I cut a small slice through the center then cut to each corner. Turned the switch to the back and added more podge. I also cut very small holes for the screws to get through the fabric as well.
I held the switch up to my windows so I didn’t have to guess where I was cutting. Brilliant, right!?
Ta Da!!
The best part, is if she changes her mind as the years go by, I can just go pick up some more cheap light switches and decorate however.
It was so easy, that I even did it while my mini-me was hanging around!!
I know, how can I seriously get anything done with this cute face!?
