An idea from the Big Ass Book of Crafts: covered lights witch covers! These are featured in my bathroom so all the guests can see how crafty I am. I thought the light switch was so nice, I covered the wall plug next to it so they would match. I used scrapbook paper from the craft store, sine they have such a wide variety of paper designs. The paper was a little thick and the glue need to be a mod podge type of glue, so I sanded the light switch first for a tooth to glue the paper onto. Then I held them as the glue dried. Yeah, with my fingers. When all was done, The Big Ass Book called for clear acrylic spray, but I didn't have any. So I used shellac and it yellowed the mountains. But shellac has such a wonderful sheen! That's why it's for wood. Next time, I might get a liquid resin. But be careful with resin! It is way toxic.
