Vicki Payne, host of DIY Crafts, explains how to cover a switchplate with fabric. Materials:
Switchplate
Fabric
Spray adhesive
Craft knife
- Place a switchplate onto a piece of fabric, and cut around it, leaving 1/2" excess fabric on the ends and 1" excess on the sides to fold to the back of the switchplate (figure A).
- Mist the wrong side of the fabric with spray adhesive. Place the right side of the switchplate onto the adhesive side of the fabric.
- Fold the edges of the fabric around the switchplate, and stick them to the back (figure B).
- Using a craft knife, cut away the fabric from the light-switch hole in the switchplate.
