Lightswitch Plate



What you'll need:
- Photograph, postcard, greeting card, or whatever image you've chosen
- Ruler
- Scissors
- Glue-stick
- Pencil
- Craft knife
- Thin cardboard or foamcore
- Paintbrush and paint (optional)
- Lightswitch plate for template

Instructions:
Measure your images, then cut a piece of cardboard or foamcore the same size. Attach the image to the cardboard with the glue stick. Make sure that the edges are glued down well.

Use your plain switchplate as the template for the lightswitch hole and the screws. Centre the plate over your image and use the pencil to mark the areas you need to cut out. Paint the tops of the screw heads to match the image, if you want. Let dry, then slap it on the wall! (You can spray it with varnish to preserve it first.) Variation: if you would like a border around the image, cut the cardboard so that it's about 1/2" larger than the image. Paint the cardboard whatever colour you like, let dry, then adhere the image.
