Easy Mod Podge Light Switch Cover Tutorial

I found this Winston Dictionary at the Goodwill with my mom yesterday. She is a lot of fun to look at books with. Constantly picking up books that she thinks I need. Yes I walked out with a book with the title of "Simple Ways to Make Your Husband Feel Great". Oh Mom – you are so funny!

Anyway… I bought this dictionary for one purpose, to cut up and use for projects. At this cute little gift shop I was at yesterday I saw a light switch cover that had been covered with valentine hearts. I thought it was a great idea and knew it would be super easy. So with a little Mod Podge in my hand I started on one for my bedroom.

You can use whatever paper you would like, I chose the page from the dictionary that had Bed on it.

1. After you choose what paper you want to use, trace around the light switch on the wrong side of the paper, then cut 1 inch away all around the traced lines. In the middle where the switch goes, cut diagonal across each way.

2. Cover the light switch with Mod Podge and stick the paper to it. Fold the edges over and pull the little pieces through the switch hole and secure with more Mod Podge.

3. Let dry completely(about an hour) before putting on your light switch cover.

That is so great! I have one decorative one my friend made me with a bunch of greenish scrapbook papers. Such an inexpensive clever touch!
