These light switch covers are easy to make, and they are awesome gifts. A few months ago, when I started decoupaging things, I decided to try decoupaging light switch covers, and I had great success. I am glad to be able to share this instructable with you.

Supplies

paper cutter
newspaper
printed image
paint brush
disposable plastic lid
Elmers school glue
light switch cover
water
x-acto knife
Plasti Dip spray

Step 1: Collect Supplies

Step 2: Cutting the Image

Color print an image.

Then cut the image out, so that it is just barely smaller than the light switch cover.

Step 3: Decoupage

On the disposable plastic lid, throughly mix one part water with one part Elmers school glue.

Using a paint brush, paint the mixture onto the light switch cover.

Next paint the mixture onto the back of the image.

Carefully align the image on the cover.

Then paint a thin layer of the mixture on the top side of the image. Note on the top side of your picture, the mixture will look slightly cloudy when you paint it on. Don't worry. It will dry clear. Also note, that the glue on top of the image will separate into little droplets. This is normal.

Step 4: Adding the Holes

Using one of the screws that was included in the light switch cover package, gently press it through the paper where the screws to form the screw holes.

Next, using an x-acto knife, cut out the section on the image where the switch will be.
