Weekend Project

I have always loved fancy door knobs and switch plates and thought that when I own a home I would invest in them. I came across a post on Design Sponge for a DIY switch plate and decided to try it out. Since I'm living in an apartment and couldn't use the "original" plates so I went and got what I needed at the hardware store and spent less than $5.oo. I already had craft paper as well as the glue and tape I used. Design Sponge suggest that you use glue. I used Mod Podge for the first plate but it ended up being tricky to use. I used double stick tape for the rest and it was much easier to use and less messy. I switched out my plates with the original and walla! I'm super happy with the results, it adds just a punch of color. I didn't do every switch in the house, just a few. I think all the paper I used were from Amy Butler's collection, I think she's my soul sister!! If they made wallpaper out of the blue and green print it would be up in my bathroom--I love it.
