Create custom light switch covers to match your home decor. Below you will learn how to decorate a light switch cover with duck tape with a complete step-by-step tutorial.

Recently, we painted my daughter’s room white. I like white because it makes the room feel bigger and clean, but it can also be a little blah. The room needed some pops of color.

The outlet covers are a simple DIY that would add some life to the room. So we got out the Duck Tape!!

• Light Switch Cover
• Outlet Cover
• Duck Tape
• Scissors
• Craft Knife
• Awl

Craft Tutorial:

To cover the entire light switch you will need three strips of Duck Tape. I used two strips of pink and one strip of silver for the middle.

Begin by laying the first strip of tape at the bottom of the cover. Make sure to line the edge of the tape up with the bottom edge of the cover.

In both corners, cut a small diagonal slit into the duck tape where the corner of the cover is.

The slit makes is you can easily wrap the Duck Tape around the corners of the cover.

Add another pink strip of Duck Tape to the top, aligning the edges and wrapping the corners the same as above.

Lay the center strip of tape down, centering between the top and bottom pieces.

When the front is nicely covered it is time to remove the extra. Using a craft knife, cut along the edges of the cover.

With the cover face down, cut out the rectangle for the light switch.

Finally, used an awl and poked through the screw holes.

All done. Pretty easy, right?

All of the plates below were covered with duck tape using the same method as above. They really do come together really quickly and are so cute too!

Screw that back into the wall and you are all done! Ta – dah!

Our Crafting Essentials List:

• The Cricut Cutting Machine is by far our favorite tool. You can create so many things using any of their machines.
• A good Paper Trimmer is a must as well. This Fiskars Paper Trimmer cuts great without the frayed edges.
• When crafting, you always need a sharp pair of scissors within reach. These Scotch Precision Scissors are my favorite!
• Keep supplies for different projects separated with Stackable Baskets, this is great for those who like to work on more than one project at a time.
