    LOVE that idea....I also saw a tute once on covering fan blades (ceiling fan)...I STILL want to try that one as well...only now I think I'll have matching switchplates and fan blades! Thanks for sharing! :)

    I've done this with scrapbook paper, embellishments and Mod Podge. Very fun. Did a lampshade too :)

    Oh what a cute idea. I just finished redecorating my granddaughter room at her house as a suprise and I could use the material I used for her curtains on the light shitch. Thanks for the idea.

    What about brushing Mod Pog over the fabric when finished. Would be pretty and easy to clean.

    I've done ME switchplate covers for my granddaughter and don't know why I didn't think of mine. Thanks.
