As a rule try to send something based on your partners likes. Because this may have to match with some previous decor, it may be helpful if you post your favorite colors and a few things you would love on your switch plate. This is not mandatory, nor is it a guarentee that you will get what you like. But it could be used a suggestion!! I'll start.

Have Fun!

Hi, I'm Holly. I love deep dark blues, like cobalt and I just adore orange. I like vintage images or funky ones (think teesha moore, zettiology) or fun images. I also like fairies and mystical creatures and the tarot.

I'm Jessie, and love Asian- inspired designs, artsy abstract designs, ocean/sealife. Favorite colors are purples, wine, mossy greens, soft blues, or even black and white. Ther aren't any colors I dislike, but I don't like "cutesy" designs.

Hi. I'm not signing up for the swap, but may I ask a dumb question? How do you decorate a light switch? Is acryllic paint all right? What do you use for the top clear level of protection?

I tried once to decorate a lightswitch for a friend, but had no idea how to do it.

Thanks Theresa

tramseyer: If you get porcelain ones, then you can bake sculpey onto them. I use a glue gun and then coat it with a layer of mod podge.

Hi my name is Sarah. I love mostly all colors except yellow, white, pastels and neons. I like quirky whimsical things like gnomes and stuff. Also anything asian in design. Monsters are also amazing! I got some really good ideas off of http://www.nakedartusa.com/index.asp. Collage is okay too right?

lilmissthrifty 08/11/2006 #

I usually collage and decoupage my light switch plates...use glitter or vintage scraps of material buttons... anything... I think craftster has a few ideas, as far as "how to".
