I also would think that the fabric should be trimmed back to just barely wrap over the edge of the plate to keep the fabric away from the wiring.

what do you do when they get dirty?

Thanks for posting. I really like this, never thought of it. Think I'll try it soon. Those designer plates are EXPENSIVE and probably it's easier to find fabric to personalize them. (certainly more choices)

I did this with fabric and I decoupaged it.

Cute idea. I wondered how that was done. Thanks for sharing.

After I cover this with fabric, I recover it with a clear vinyl and then I can wipe it off and not have to worry about it.
