Summer Project

Summer is coming to an end, but you still have time to do some fun projects to end your boring days. Here is a fun project that I really liked.

Customized Switch Plates

What you need:
• construction paper( whatever colors you want)
• scissors
• ruler
• markers/crayons/pens
• glue

Instructions:
1. Outline and measure your light switch you want to make the cover for.
Try to make it as precise as you can, because if the cover is too small or too big, it won't look that clean.

2. After you have a ready template for your switch cover, sketch out the design you want to have, for example you can have beach as your theme or even just print your name. [ 2nd pic on the bottom is my template]

3. Next, you trace the template around the construction paper of your choice. Then cut it out. You should now have a colored construction paper exactly like your template.

4. Now it is time to decorate it like you want it. Use markers, crayons, pens, glitter, shells, pom poms, and even fabric!!!

5. Now you tape your cover to the switch plate and you are done!!! [ I have made a beach themed one with shells... Pic is the 1st picture]
