DIY Switch Plate and Outlet Cover Tutorials

Switch plates! Spoon and I wanted all of our switch plates to match, so we literally unscrewed all of the old switch plates and installed brand new ones. I was about to throw away the old ones because I thought making new and exciting covers for them would be too difficult and time consuming. Actually, making switch plate covers are really easy! So I kept them, after looking over the following tutorials of course!

By the end of October, I will definitely have a few made to show off, and maybe I’ll include a tutorial of my very own!
