Hi All,
I am decorating metal switch plate covers with card stock paper (a little bit thicker than regular paper) and Mod Podge. I just started this a couple of days ago and think it is fun. I saw it on youtube (link below). I glue the paper onto the front of the switch plate and fold a little bit to the back and a little bit through the switch hole in the middle of the plate. I then put a couple more coats of the Mod Podge onto the front of the plate and some onto just the little bits of paper on the back that surrounds the edges and a little onto the little bit of paper I fold back through the hole for the switch. All was fine until I checked out another site and one of the comments on the bottom asked if this was at all a fire hazard. Now I am wondering but I really don't think so but need to ask. The glued paper only covers the back of the plate around the edges...maybe 1/4 inch around and there is just a few tiny pieces on the back through the hole. I hope I am explaining myself that makes sense.
This is exactly what I am doing:

Would love to know what you think ....or if are or know of an electrician to ask, please. I want to keep making them!
Thank you, thank you!
