Father’s Day is this Sunday!! Not sure how that happened. Do you need a quick and easy idea for the man in your life? Here is a great one that I made my for my husband this year.
This is how I made the frame:
You’ll need some light switches and book rings and then some fun vinyl to decorate them with.
With some scissors, I cut out the middle piece.
Then I used Expressions Vinyl’s yummy patterned vinyl. Love all the different colors!
I traced the light switch onto the back of the vinyl.
Then I cut it out with scissors. Make sure to cut the vinyl a little bigger than what you traced, so you can wrap it around the edges.
For the middle one, I took the fun polka dot vinyl and cut it into strips that were around 1/2″ wide. Then I placed them onto the switch at a diagonal.
Once they were all covered with vinyl, I poked through the holes and added the book rings.
I added a few embellishments.
For the pictures, I cut out a D and A out of cardboard. Then I took some pictures of my kids. Aren’t they adorable? I love how these turned out! Surprisingly they actually cooperated and I didn’t have to take over 100 pictures.
I made them all black and white and then printed them off and put them in the back of the frame.
And that’s it! They are so fun!
I can’t wait for my husband to put it on his office desk!

I would NEVER have thought to use light switch covers as frames. You've changed how I look at them, LOL. Love it.
