Cover with extra-wide ribbon, wallpaper, sheet music, or map of a favorite place. Trace switch plate onto back of paper. Cut paper about 1/4 inch wider than outline; brush craft glue onto back; place switch plate face-down. Cut each corner at an angle slightly beyond corner of plate. Fold sides onto back of plate, using bone folder to smooth. With utility knife, cut X into paper covering switch cutout; brush glue onto flaps; smooth to plate's back side. Make tiny X in paper covering screw holes. Turn over. Dab glue into holes. Use pin tip to push paper from front to back, opening holes. (When mounted, the screws will hide minor imperfections.) Seal paper with water-based urethane, fabric with Scotchgard.
