pinspiration #3: outlet covers



so you all know we've been working on the bathroom for a while now.  but there are a few things that remain unfinished (small details).  and one of them was light switch and outlet covers.  we haven't had them on for months, which i'm pretty sure isn't good for the wiring. 

which is why i was so happy to find this pin!

seems easy enough.  all you need is switchplate covers, scrapbook paper, an exacto knife and modge podge.  which means i only had to buy four things at the store.  this was also my first experience with modge podge, which is much stickier and smellier than i thought it would be.  but in my defense, i didn't know what it was.

not bad...
to be honest, it wasn't worth the hours they took me.  outlet covers aren't expensive.  HOWEVER, having looked for months i know how difficult it is to find just the right outlet covers.  so i guess it wasn't so bad.  and since i have three more pages of scrapbook paper, i guess i could do a few more for our bedroom or something.

lots more house projects coming up! i have lots of cleaning and organizing to do before our party on saturday.

til tomorrow!
