DIY- Funky Light switch

Tuesday, June 29, 2010

Photobucket

I saw this light switch at a friends house last year, so I have been making different versions of it ever since. Yet my favorite version is still the cheezy Fuego love scenes. They are SO funny. The light switch just fits so perfectly on the picture...if you know what i'm sayin. Well here is what you will need:
Polyurethane

paint brush
light covers
cheezy love scenes
(you can get these from the
front of
romance novels at the thrift store)
buttons or trinkets.
metal clips.
hot glue gun
sandpaper



1. Score the front of the light switch with some sandpaper.
2. Next cover the light switch in a light layer of glue and place the magazine cover
over the front. Fold over the edges and clip them with the metal clips.
3. Hot glue the back of the folded paper so that it stays put.
4. Glue on your trinkets and buttons to the front of the light switch, then cover with two coats of polyurethane.



These are perfect for birthday gifts or prank gifts. You can really personalize them with different magazine clippings and vintage photographs. Hope you enjoy!



Vintage Greeting Cards- Funky Friday

Thursday, June 10, 2010



You cant find cards like these anymore. Just like you don't see any more vintage cartoons, vintage greeting cards are quite the treasures.
Sharon Foster Vintage has a very delightful shop on ETSY, where I found a few of these cards. I was thinking of using them for my graduation announcements. I like to be a little out of the ordinary. Look how wonderful and unique they are.

Hope your having a splendid Friday. My mom is out of town, and she insisted that I come in to town and take care of her chickens. So, this means I get a whole weekend full of thrifting in Birmingham.
