Covered light switch plates

I made these last year and have been enjoying them in my home. I have an older house that had gaudy gold light covers in every room. After seeing the finished product at a friends house, I was ready to tackle every room!

You will need:
Light switch covers
Scrapbook paper
Mod podge
Exacto-knife

I used an exacto-knife as I found it was easier to cut corners. You want to cut the page around the plate where you can just bend the corners over into the inside.

Cut out a tiny little triangle by each corner. Also cut an X inside the center where the lifht switch goes. This way when you fold the corners over, it's not overlapping and bulky.

Once you have the shape cut, mod podge the inside and place the switch plate on top with corners and sides bent inside.

After its dried, coat the outside with mod podge. I put about two coats on mine.

TaDa! Wonderful personalized covers made by you!

DIY Halloween Costumes- Isabela from Encanto

I found a ton of cute lavender dresses a’la Isabela from Encanto. I started with tulle to give the princess feel, and also included more comfortable options. You can get away with just the flower behind your ear, but I think the added ones throughout the hair are more Isabela. I added two options, but Shein does have many options for hair flowers. Oh and use my code at Shein for 10% off your order! The first 3 dresses are Shein sizes 2-12. This first dress definitely will make you feel like a princess! These shoes are the most accurate to the cosplay as well. Tulle Dress Mary Jane Ballet Flats Large Flower hair clips Small Flower hair clips Dress option 2 is more casual and looks so comfy. You could wear this more often after displaying. As it’s more casual, I also added more casual flats.

90s Style Categories

Denim, tie dye, backward baseball caps, bright colors, overalls, and knee highs are just some of the things that remind most people of the 90s. I'm horrified when I look back at most pictures I have as a child, as I dressed more like Nickelodeon's Clarissa and Alex Mack instead of like the more trendy 90s styles. I wore tshirts with denim shorts and overalls quite often. One thing I miss about those days is the comfort. I was not aware of most of the 90s fashions that were available at the time (hey we didn't have internet yet) and I basically wore whatever my parents bought me. It was nice to be able to dress for comfort! Kids nowadays seem to be beyond their years and dress much older than their age. I've been thinking of having a 90s party this year, and this time perhaps I'll actually dress in a different 90s style that I never wore when I was younger. I'm breaking down some of the styles into categories below. These are categories in my mind
