Looking for an idea on how to decorate a switch plate cover

I covered some of mine with wall paper to match the rooms that have wallpaper but the others are just ugly. I don't have the correct wallpaper for some of the other rooms, any ideas or websites with directions on doing different ones?

You can use material, spray adhesive, and then stick it on and put the scews the plate holes.

I did this for all of the bedrooms to match the curtains, and I did this in the kitchen to match the colour. You only need a small amount of material to cover the plates, you could also cover the plug outlets too.

if you know how to decoupage, I think that is a really inexpensive way to go, you can use cute pics from magazines, gift wrapping paper, etc and decorate them to match any room =)

I took the flippy flap off a shoe box of the disney princesses, laminated it, cut the needed holes, and used it as a switch cover. It worked great and made the babe as happy as can be!

Re: Looking for an idea on how to decorate a switch plate cover

i've been buying ours off ebay but can see how easy it would be to make them. For instance, dd has spongebob ones, the boys have space and a shrek one.
