Have you been working on sprucing up a room? I have. Our little nursery is always a work in progress. I have added things here and there and it's becoming more and more cozy. And here's the latest addition.
A Light Switch Cover. This will only take minutes to do and really adds a great little detail to the room.
Buy a new cover or remove the one that's on your light switch right now. Cut out a coordinating piece of material that's just big enough to be able to wrap the extra fabric around the back. Slit a hole where the light switch would go and make additional slits, angling out towards each corner of the opening. Apply a coat of Mod Podge to the front of the cover. Lay the fabric over the top, making sure to center the hole over the light switch opening.
Pull the fabric tight and fold the edges around to the back. Apply another layer of Mod Podge and let dry completely.
Then add ribbon/buttons/embellishments to the front with hot glue.
Re-attach to the wall and......wow!
Look how cute.

Sweet and fun!!
Very cute. I did the same thing with some comic book pages (my son's room is Batman) and it was super easy and turned out really fun.
How cute and so perfect for kids, I love it! I'll be linking.
You are SO SO crafty! I will use this idea for my son's new "TRACTOR" room.
I made one for our nursery too a few weeks ago! It was so easy and looks so cute!!! It's addicting too, I'd like to make more for the rest of the rooms in the house too!
That is sooooo cool. I forget about using Mod Podge!
So cute. Except I think it will make my little ones play with their light switches even more!
This seems so basic, like we should all have thought of doing that. Seriously, I would never have thought of mod-podging the light cover. Good work!

I love this! What a fun and easy way to dress up a room, especially if you're renting and can't paint!
Ashley!! I'm so glad I found your blog. I followed the link from Caryn Jone's blog and am so happy I did! How have you been? (If my name is throwing you off, this is Kristi Lewis-from high school) I've been linking to your blog from mine as I've been trying out the tutorials. If you wanna see my attempts at them you can go to canofsnails.blogspot.com I've been having so much fun trying them out!
Thank you...I know just the fabric to do this with in my dd's room. :)
Hey! Congrats on winning the blog contest for that Utah baby magazine! That's awesome! You totally deserve it!
so cute!
I've been looking at your blog for the first time and am loving it. I really admire your creativity (not to mention thriftyness :)), and hope it will inspire my own! I'll be back! :)
Love it! One question... Which type of Mod Podge do you use? I went to Joann and there were about 5 different varieties...Matte, Gloss, Paper, etc. I was lost :) Thanks for all your great tips and projects! I now have even MORE on my to-do list!
I just use the Matte.....for everything. I have never purchased any of the varieties, even the cloth variety. I've just used the matte for everything and it has worked well. Hope that helps! :)
THis is the cutest Idea EVER!
