Colorful outlet covers

I hate my old and plain outlet covers in my room. So, to make them look great and not such a hassle to hide, I painted them! I used simple acrylic paint and sharpie to create the designs, and of course paint brushes. It's best to unscrew them and take them off before you paint them; that would be way too difficult to color on.

I like this one the best but they both look good!
However, they won't last long if you touch/rub them a lot. They scratch fairly easily so you may have to give them a touch-up sooner or later, especially if you decorate light switch covers.
Well best of luck if you want to make one! (Also, a great way to take it off if you mess up or don't like it is magic eraser)
