How to make your own Placebo light switch cover...
supplies:
  • a screw driver
  • clear packing tape
  • a printed picture of Placebo
  • a pencil or this template
directions:
  1. Use the screwdriver to unscrew the plastic plate covering your lightswitch
  2. Print & cut out the template provided above. Or make your own by tracing your switchpate cover with your pencil onto a piece of paper.
  3. Use the template to find a good picture of Placebo* (or the band member of your choice). The parts of the template that are X'ed will not be able to be seen, but make sure that the picture is about a half an inch bigger all around to allow for the edges to fold under. Be sure that you don't choose a picture where the band's faces are in the center or a picture that's too much bigger than the plate cover.
  4. Carefully place the picture on top of the plate cover and fold the edges of the pic under and around the switch plate.
  5. Use clear packing tape to cover the picture to make it water-resistant and help the picture to be stronger.
  6. Use something sharp the pierce through the pic where the screw holes are. cut an X in the center where the light switch will come through, but don't the square out! fold the edges of the X in so it will be more secure.
  7. Screw the newly covered switch plate back onto the wall.
  8. Sit back and admire your pretty Placebo lightswitch plate.
