Every Thursday, Shelbi Roach of The Bronze Kettle guides you in creating WoW-inspired crafts using real world mats with World of WarCrafts.
While it may be true that us geeks typically prefer the dark, it might be worth turning on the light just to show off one of these totally rad WoW-themed light switch covers. Take a screenshot of your character decked out in epics or your favorite NPC. You can also use a shot of your preferred locale, such as The Dark Portal, Zangarmarsh or Nagrand (as pictured).
Here is what you will need:
- Light Switch Cover
- Printed Image
- Paper Cutter (or Scissors)
- Clear Acrylic Spray
- Mod Podge
- Paintbrush
- Xacto Knife

DISCLAIMER: If you are under 18, please make sure that you are supervised by your parents or an adult. We will not be held responsible if you stab yourself with an artist's tool. Stores will also require you to be at least 18 to purchase the acrylic spray.

that is really cool looking! I'm tempted to try this out
did you print your image on regular paper or did you use a special stock?

I used an ink jet and 24lb stock from staples. You can use standard paper, but I already had that loaded into my printer. :)
thanks everyone!
