Let’s make love art. I made light switch wall art with DIY distressed wood backer.

I shop my local Habitat for Humanity ReStore for more than just the deals. I’m there to open my brain to inspiration, like this project with light switches.

When I saw a pile of light switches at my local Habitat for Humanity ReStore, I was inspired to make wall art.

And since I like a quick project, I updated the color of the light switches with spray paint from Krylon in a pretty shade of blue called Bahama Sea.

For the backer, I distressed a piece of wood with a Bernzomatic torch, hammer, and sand paper. Then attached the painted light switches to the wood with my favorite screws from Spax.

What would you make with a pile of light switches? I’d love to know. Tweet me, share a comment below, or email is perfection. ??t
