A Guard for the Light Switch | DIY

 

 Hi!
I don't have a lot of time right now (but I didn't want to post nothing!), so today's post is going to be a very short DIY on how to decorate your light switch. Without further ado, let's begin!

To start off, I cut out the shape I want. Here, I've used sticker paper (it will be easier to stick onto the wall later).

 Next, I cut out two white ovals for the eyes and glued them onto their place.

Now it's time to add some details!

Just stick it over the light switch and you have created a tiny guard who observes it!

Experiment around: cut out different shapes and figures - let your imagination run wild!

Personalized Door Plate | DIY

 

Hey there!
As I was flipping through a lifestyle magazine, my gaze was suddenly attracted to a door. It had a door plate! You may think 'OK, what's so cool about that?', but oh boy...I haven't seen a door plate since I was a child and almost none of my friends still have one. Door plates remind me of my childhood, when I - like every other child- wanted my name to be on everything I own. The door plate in the magazine looked so cute, I just had to make my own...:

Luckily, I found a wooden panel in our basement. It's not too thick and the size was just right.

I sawed one side off - in a straight line. Then, I drew my design onto the wood.

Afterwards, I sawed around my sketch. It's okay to do this step roughly, because...

...you only have to smooth out the sides and edges with sandpaper.

Painting time! (My color turned out to be baby blue)

OK, time to add some details for the face.

Now attach supporters and a chain on the back side.

Honestly, this was one of the most tiring projects I've ever done. I thought that my arm would fall off from all the sawing. Either way, it was worth all the trouble and I'm veeery happy with the end result! I decided to write my name in Korean, because it just looked better to me in the moment!
