Trash To Treasure Tuesday--Switchplate Switch-up

Today's project appeared to me in a vision.

Naw, just kidding. But I WAS wandering around in JoAnn's when I had an epiphany.

An angel of the Lord appeared...sorry.

Anyway...I had these plain white plastic switchplates in our powder room. You know the ones, functional in their own sweet way, but FAR from decorative. Powder rooms are SO small, you've got to take any opportunity to transform the functional into decorative, you know?

First I spray painted them Heirloom White. I know, you could've guessed that step. I promise it gets more creative.

During my trip to JoAnn's, I discovered a beautiful piece of scrolly paper. It was $1.59, so I took it home, sure I could use it for SOMETHING.

Then it hit me! (warning, poor photo quality ahead)

I laid the painted switchplates upside down on the paper and cut around them with my craft knife. Lots of trimming followed while I tried to get the perfect fit. I attached the paper with glossy Mod Podge, then added two coats on top to seal it. I'll have to get back to ya on the durability of these, but I'm pretty sure then won't show finger prints!

Me likey. You likey?
