I love splatting paint and wanted to make my light switch more interesting :) Molly ^_^

Instructions

  1. Small img 0121

    Measure your light switch and add a border.

  2. Small img 0122

    Cut out the square/rectangle. Snip from the corner of the border to the corner of the middle so that you can fold.

  3. Small img 0124

    If the corners overlap cut a half moon shape.

  4. Small img 0123

    Fun bit! Put something down to protect the surface and choose your colours ( i used red, yellow, green and blue ) And mix them with water. This will make it easier to spalt. Now....SPLAT. You can do this as much as you want.

  5. Wait to dry. You can use a hair dryer to speed up the progress ( i let it dry naturally ) But make sure you stick it down with blue tac so it dosent blow away!

    To make it last longer use some sticky back plastic. Refold and cut the corners.
