1. Start with your average outdated switch plate cover.
2. Cut fabric just a little bigger than your switch plate.
3. Cover the switch plate with Mod Podge.
4. Lay your piece of fabric on top of the Mod Podge, and press down all surfaces. Be sure to smooth out any creases or bubbles.
6. Use an X-acto knife to cut out the slots where your switch thingies will go(I left one side attached- see next step)! – you can also use the X-acto knife to punch a whole where the screw holes are.
7. Flip switchplate over and use a little Mod Podge to glue down the pieces you cut for the opening.
8. Turn the switchplate back over and cover with 2 coats of Mod Podge.
Hang your beautiful new switchplate!
