Heyy Divas! I know it has been a while and I am so sorry for that! I kinda took a small break from my DIY lifestyle but have no fear...I'm back at it!
Here lately I have been in total room makeover mode...DIY style! I am all about saving a little by doing it yourself! I was looking at my light switch over the other day and was thinking...Man I really need to vamp that up a little! Sooo...Here it goes!
The Supply List:
Plastic Light Switch Cover
(I got mine from Walmart for about 75 cents)
(This is important because the bigger the glitter the more likely you are to have gaps)
(Any clear gloss will work, this is just what I had on hand)
Flat Head Screw Driver
Paint Brush
Paper Plate
Craft Tray (optional)
(I found this in my craft bucket and had no idea I had it before now. You can use a paper plate for this part)
Lets get started!
Start by painting on an even layer of Mod Podge all over the Light Switch Cover. Make sure you get the sides as well
Once that is complete lay the light switch cover down on your craft tray/paper plate.
Now add your glitter! (Don't be afraid to go a little over board)
(NOT PICTURED)
I failed to take a picture of me doing the screws (you can see them sitting on the side of the craft tray) What I did for this part is painted on a little Mod Podge and just suck them in some of the extra glitter on the side.
I let that sit for about 20-30 minutes. Once I felt it was dry enough for me to pick up I transferred the cover and screws to the paper plate.
THE PART IS IMPORTANT!!!
If you skip this part you will have glitter everywhere!
I took it outside and sprayed both with a layer of the Clear Gloss.
I let it dry for about an hour and sprayed another layer.
While I waited I transferred the excess glitter back into the glitter container. Super easy with this nifty craft tray! Totally in love with this thing!
Once everything was dry I brought it in and put it on! I love the way this looks!
I think this is a great and easy way to dress up any old light switch cover! This one is actually blue but for some reason all my pictures make it look different...except for the one outside. The outside picture is the actually color! I think it turned out super cute!
The total cost really isn't that much. I spent about $4 on the Mod Podge and about $3 on the glitter... Both of which I will be reusing many times! If I had to guess I would say totally cost is between $3-$4!
Well I really hope y'all enjoyed this! There will be many more post to come! I am in the process of slowly but surely redoing my bathroom...DIY style!
Check back soon for new HOW TO's!
Until next time Divas!
Much Love,
Hannah, Southern Diva
