| How to Cover Electrical Outlets |
|
|
|
- Make
sure power is off to the outlet or switch.
|
|
 |
|
- Remove
the outlet cover or switch plate from the wall.
|
|
|
|
- Hold
a piece of wallpaper from your scrap pieces or leftover material against
the wall, matching the pattern surrounding the outlet or switch. Mark
the paper several inches larger than the opening, evenly on all sides.
|
|
|
|
- Cut the
paper at the marks.
|
|
|
|
- Brush
vinyl-to-vinyl adhesive onto the front of the switch plate or outlet
cover.
|
|
|
|
- Center the switch plate,
face down, on the back of the paper.
|
|
|
|
- Double
check the match and press the paper to the surface of the switch plate
or outlet cover.
|
|
|
|
- Wrap
the excess paper around the back of the cover and secure it to the back
as you might wrap a package.
