Instructions
1. Trim fabric to size of switchplate plus 1" (2.5 cm) on all sides.
2. Glue background fabric to front and side edges of switchplate, smoothing out air pockets and mitering corners. Let dry completely.
3. Use the razor edge cutting tool to cut an "X" in fabric covering the light switch holes. Fold excess fabric to back and glue.
4. Remove shanks from buttons with wire cutters and glue to switchplate, as illustrated.
5. Glue craft wire (fence & stems), yarn (rope) and ribbon (on flower baskets) in place as shown.
