Fabric Covered Switch-plate Tutorial

You may remember last week I showed you how I made some easy fabric covered wall art for my bathroom.

After I hung them, I decided to make the switch-plate match!




It's super easy, but I took a few pictures along the way to show you!

Fabric Covered Switchplate

Supplies:

• Switchplate cover
  
• Small piece of fabric
• Plastic or something to cover your work surface
  
• Mod Podge
• Sponge brush for Mod Podge
  
• X-acto knife
• Scissors

1. Start with your average outdated switchplate cover.
2. Cut fabric that you ♥ just a little bigger than your switchplate.
3. Cover the switchplate with Mod Podge.
4. Lay your piece of fabric on top of the Mod Podge, and press down all surfaces. Be sure to smooth out any creases or bubbles.

5. After the fabric and Mod Podge sit and dry a bit, trim the excess fabric around the edge of the switchplate.
6. Use an X-acto knife to cut out the slots where your switch thingies will go(I left one side attached- see next step)! - you can also use the X-acto knife to punch a whole where the screw holes are.

7. Flip switchplate over and use a little Mod Podge to glue down the pieces you cut for the opening.

8. Turn the switchplate back over and cover with 2 coats of Mod Podge.

Hang your beautiful new switchplate!
