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!
Haha these are really funny & cute!
ReplyDeletewow, what a brilliantly funny idea (:
ReplyDeleteWow this brings back memories! I used to collage light switches back in junior high. I used the clear kind and put the collage on the inside so the finish was still smooth. Love the romance novel idea... I have a friend I need to make one for!
