Customized LightSwitch Plate





You can make your very own customized switch plate by
selecting a picture from a magazine....
thicker pages work the best





I tried to use white glue to decoupage the picture but
it was too wet and wrinkled the picture....
so I switched to spray adhesive. That worked much better...
you can get spray adhesive at  Walmart or Michael's

first trim your picture so that it fits on the plate and decide where you want the actual switch to be on your picture.  

Then lightly spray the switch plate and then and smooth
your picture onto the plate.....fold the edges over to the back side and then I sprayed about 4 light coats of clear coat on it....
to keep it from getting dirty...

you don't want to get it too wet or it will bleed through the picture...light coats are the way to go.  :-)



this is the glue mess....too wrinkly...
and when I tried to smooth it out....it ripped... :-(
