Rebecca is a Peaceful Bee

I have to remind myself that my main mission in life is to stay peaceful. No matter how busy I get or what life throws at me, to remain at peace, is my goal. I don't always achieve it, but I always go back to it eventually. So this Busy Bee is also a Peaceful Bee.

step one


Step One
I’m not super comfortable taking the switch plate off the wall (me and wires do not mix!) so I worked on my plate on the wall. As I said, my plate was very dirty. I debated showing you the before, but um…. yeah, no. So here is the cleanish version! If you look closely you can see I wasn’t very careful with the paint brush. Make sure your switch is clean and dry before you start or your stickers won’t stick.

Step Two
Cut out your stickers. This will make it easier to place them on your plate. If you aren’t comfortable with ‘free sticking’, trace your switch plate and do a layout of where you want your stickers to go first.

step three


Step Three
Start sticking! If you chose to do the ‘free sticking’, try moving the shape around a bit before you decide on a place. I wanted mine to look like wallpaper, so I cut some of my stickers in half to place near the sides. Try not to stick your stickers over your switches as it will move around when you turn the light on and off. You can instead cut out the switch shape from the sticker so it flows around it.
