Crafty switchplate
I've always disliked this switchplate cover in my bedroom. My bedroom is in shades of light green, so it never seemed to color coordinate well with everything else. So I decided that I'd decoupage and do a little decorating to give myself a new one.
I took a piece of handmade paper and used a strong adhesive to adhere it to a plain switchplate cover (not the carved ornate one that was in the first photo). I used Mod Podge to seal it so that it won't pick up skin oils when the switch is used. Then I used the adhesive to glue down bits of an ornamental paper underneath some Van Gogh mosaic tile, and some gold skeleton leaves. I used Mod Podge over the skeleton leaves to give them protection from skin oils too.
It turned out pretty well! Now I need to replace the one in my computer room next, I think. I'll need to think about what to do with that one. Maybe a vintage photo collage or something like that ...
