making a paper mâché light switch cover/ an argument for pointless decoration 🎀

[@petabaigent]

The uni folder decoration is the exact type of small rebellion that I live for

[@wickedwitch3520]

Ahreed!

[@nicolahardwick1258]

obsessed with you adding more and more complex closures on the binders hehe

[@kathrynparker9790]

An art teacher who diminishes creativity 😂😂😂. ❤

[@Letsleepingplantslie]

All I see is a little face wearing a floral bonnet, and I love it.

[@dreamsinlife77]

Me too!!!

[@socialjusticejewelry]

Me three 😂

[@dharmaphile]

Same!

[@TheReducedsodium]

It looks like a little chicken!

[@brittneyperry8026]

YES!!!!

[@IsabellaBoyne]

You have no idea how unbelievably excited I get when you post a new video! You always inspire me to be more creative and do things just for fun rather than everything needing a huge important purpose 💖

[@luckysmummy5325]

Loved this so much! Thanks for sharing, its amazing to see it come to life out of cardboard & loo roll! I think it looked like it was made of ceramic in the end. Beautiful work. I made a kind of switchplate cover in an old rented flat. It was the oven switch. I had a small gold frame that just fit over it, & inserted a magazine picture with a hole cut out for the switch, where the red switch looked like a door in the context of the image. Pointless but it gave me so much joy. I also decorated the crappy kitchen cupboard doors with freehand cutout trees made from wood effect vinyl. Thanks for inspiring my lil trip down memory lane! X

[@okayokayval]

that gorgeously inspired and detailed moodboard for such a tiny-sized project is truly heroic and wonderful!!!

[@ciaolife]

I love it. Adds so much character to a very utilitarian object

[@Milena-ss6jh]

The people NEED to see your pinterest boards. For the better of all humankind.

[@ChrisPorter-xv1rd]

Its fabulous. The world needs people like you.

[@BlinkPopShift]

Omg. You articulated something I hadn't put my finger on. Home art is so much better than gallery art!!!!🎉

[@claraschuman5609]

Beautiful job! I'm in college for art right now, and sometimes it really makes me feel like everything I make (both inside and outside of class) has to be perfect and finished to a professional level. Thank you for reminding me that I can do art for myself just because it makes me happy, and that it doesn't always have to be absolutely perfect! You're an inspiration😉

[@beigeflannel]

Yeah it’s very easy to feel that way when you’re studying it- can steal some of the joy from making but it’s also so wonderful to be able to fully immerse yourself in your creativity at college - hope your course is going well!

[@janelte]

A little robot baby in an easter bonnet! I love your style (and Charleston inspiration) - it is absolutely not my own taste, which leans minimal and natural materials, and a bit of industrial - but I so appreciate your talent and imagination, and the lovely handmade, repurposed, artistic home you are creating for yourself. And for Tony, the evil dancing tree doll. I am now inspired to do something with the hideous white plastic fusebox that is on my rented living room wall - it is at eye height, sits out about 20 cm (8 inches?) and has a tiered curved front in clear plastic so that you can gaze in at the ugly black and yellow safety switches inside. Your frame idea made me think perhaps of some kind of family portrait, with a central picture covering the switches and a 3D frame that incorporates lots of smaller pictures ...its always a toss up with functional things between wanting them simply to blend in and disappear and making a decorative feature of them. In your setting, go the decorative route every time. Thanks again for a lovely video.

[@petabaigent]

I was thinking George, but Tony is good too

[@janelte]

@@petabaigent Tony always sounds a bit creepy to me. Sorry to all you Tonys out there

[@hagfish_]

Thank you for gracing us with more creativity. I would also love to hear what are some other artists on KZbin that you find inspiring or whose work you enjoy!

[@ggguillemette1375]

I think it's amazing and I'm all for pointless decoration!

[@thewaalers8504]

I wasn’t gonna leave a comment every one had so nice things to say I thought what can I add? But then I couldn’t resist. That cute lill light switch is the cutest and I am excited to try myself!

[@wickedwitch3520]

I think this is adorable. Also, i suggest "Creepy Carl" for your hanging ornament. I am fond of alliteration. Back to topic...i have been wanting to do something with my light switches and outlet cover. Light switches and outlet cover are more flush to the walls in American homes. So i couldn't make a frame like that and have it stay without attaching it to the wall but its good inspiration!

[@hoppingwren]

I love it, it's so great. It looks like a face with the dots as the eyes and the switch is the nose and the little creature is wearing a bowtie and a wreath

[@xingcat]

It’s like an old Victorian plaster detail on something very modern. I love adding unexpected decor to everyday objects.

[@Art930]

What a pleasant surprise to find you in my feed this morning! Like your attitude, your humour, your light switch and that beautiful dress hanging on your wall.

[@Lil2Treeza]

I’m loving the quirky little pops in your home, they are really wonderful to watch you creative videos. Totally inspiring 😊

[@middlemuse]

I had no idea light switches in England looked so different than what we have in the US! But now you’ve got me wanting to decorate mine.

[@beigeflannel]

Do they?!

[@samoneill4098]

This is flipping brilliant 🎉 I feel full to the brim of joy and sparkling with ideas! Thank you! Great video too!

[@gayleaustralia]

I love this and I also think your commentary is both refreshing and hilarious.

[@somewhataccomplished.9745]

The cover came out SO CUTE! You`ve definitely inspired me to try leveling up mine too, so thank you!

[@oyasumikisi4935]

Your videos give me life!!! That was so inspiring.... now I hate looking at my boring light switches and will try something out!

[@marilynflynn465]

I love it and I would definitely have it in my house.

[@rita_fuko]

the idea was fab and the end result was also fab

[@Hydrantchan]

I am so glad I arrived at this video!! This is a great idea, and I am looking forward to the rest of your channel! So charming

[@migueldemelo1924]

Another amazing project, another amazing beigeflannel video!!!! Love this idea of frames for light switches so much! You have inspired me ❤

[@julieodonoghue8233]

Happened upon your video and subscribed after 20 seconds. Excellent work. So uplifting.

[@SarahCoffee221b]

So fabulous! I love that you make awesome decor out of paper mache.

[@bespokecakes]

I love watching your videos! I have a completely different aesthetic/artistic style then yours so I find it so fascinating and interesting watching how you create things and where you take them 🧡💛💚💙💜

[@linawells5857]

Love it! And I have to visit Charleston House, looks amazing.

[@Noon-jt7gi]

Just earlier today…. I was looking at making my kitchen light switch into a piece of toast….. I love toast. I don’t love home electrical fires though, and I don’t trust myself.

[@janelte]

you could sculpt it from polymer clay that you dry in the oven if you are worried about the paper being a fire risk, although I can't see how anything that is not in contact with the electrical wires would ever be an issue. If you want the subtlety of painted colours, you could even go the salt dough route ...

[@Noon-jt7gi]

@ I could, but will I? 😂🤷‍♀️ ….then I saw someone with rubber ducks on their bathroom ceiling

[@Hargitasimplyliving]

Absolutely wonderful!

[@slothsister3716]

I dont think i could make a light switch decorator because i tend to slap lights off 😅😅 but i am highly considering making frames! I need so many in weird sizes im having a hard time thrifting them all, making some seems like a really good idea

[@errata9968]

Turned out so sweet.

[@SarahMaddox-p8f]

Fab. Love your vids. I'm going to do paper mache now tomorrow for the first time in my life!

[@BeccaAl]

Beautiful and functional 💐 💡

[@marthe_engelen]

Love love love it!!! Amazing colours I’m obsessed

[@sylviapage61]

This is so beautiful! It's definitely getting me inspired :)

[@Law1sfab]

Absolutely love it! Also love that you did that with your work, stuff that tutor! Honestly sounds like some of the horrid tutors I had at uni.

[@JudithGammie]

I love this! It’s so whimsical and fun. Your creativity and originality are so impressive. Your comment about decorating your house for yourself and not others really resonates with me ❤

[@Yannajxoxo]

love the project & love the message!

[@felinetherapy4782]

Love this. Also like those expensive light fittings you found.

[@januamari]

Oh this is so damn cute and beautiful! I would definitely have it for my own house too. You are amazing ❤ I was smiling all the way, thank you 😊

[@vilmaeriksson4003]

That is so cute I absolutly love it

[@helenajacobs269]

Such a fun project, your work inspires me a lot ☆☆

[@galbroux]

Sooooo cute ! I want to do it for all my light switchers now 😬

[@newbiemakeup5290]

Chefs kiss! I would like to have that in my house!

[@EdwinWalkerProfile]

The Victorians would have gone crazy for this level of decoration.

[@victoriasd]

I absolutely love it omg

[@thereversepolarbear]

it's amazing - I love the idea so much. xxx

[@Beans-12]

i truly hope someone preserves your house as is for other people to walk around in, just such good stuff :))

[@smgreenartsprivate]

That switch cover is gorgeous so pretty I can't do that as it would fall off as mine are more modern. They would make a great photo frame with a bit of perspex. Or even a Christmas tree decoration even. Well done :)

[@thewildwomanofthewoods]

it looks very cool, i would love to have something like that!

[@juliagironaguayo5789]

LOOOOOVE THIS ✨

[@waterloobicycleworks]

Love this!! 🤩✨

[@leranilovaaa]

i love it!!

[@helenm1085]

Speaking of fun light switches - have you seen the 3D printed contraptions that you can attach to your light switch that turn it into like a big mad scientist lever that you pull? i don't know if they were designed for fun or accessibility, but they should do both!!

[@paloma_hill]

what a wonderful video!

[@toriam15]

Very cute and creative

[@tedros6917]

love!!!

[@migribeiro]

Since watching your videos I made a paper mache vase for my knitting needles, a box for finger puppets I made, and the top of a big mushroom to be a hat holder 🤓

[@beigeflannel]

Ok so I have to see this mushroom hat holder…

[@carolinaazevedo2088]

So cute! I think the ornament should be named Eustáquio

[@sinebheag4685]

The initial cardboard base on the switch looked like a wee man with a bowtie and long legs 😂 Amazing you got to visit Charleston. I bet Vanessa Bell would highly approve of the final result

[@LongRideHome29]

please please please paint a tiny little smile on your light switch, he's clearly a very happy light switch now!!

[@janetje45]

i think its really cute like you im a big bloomsburry fan have a good weekend

[@lesleyharris525]

That's so cute, ❤ and I can't believe that your art teacher was so nasty, but as they say these who can do,those who can't teach.❤

[@lindarosenthal6835]

Lovely

[@lonniereads]

yay!

[@waterbitten]

This is so pretty. Love the concept of light switch covers but i don't think they go with the ",just moved in" esthetic of my house

[@lenn452]

I was sceptical until you literally put in on the wall but honestly it looks really cool there

[@hevideer8931]

It' just a little guy 🥰

[@ghazaln]

So cute 😭🥹🥰

[@beckybuttermint]

I have a friend who i message every time you launch another video. I'm off to tell her you have a new one now 🏃

[@MaryGaia-em7hl]

🌺💐🍀!!!!!

[@natashadavies9569]

If I'm not going to enjoy it and it's not necessary, why would I do it: words I live by

[@MiaKreppen-cx4dj]

Love switch covers, but it's not international standards, thus hard to find anything ready made

[@migueldemelo1924]

Another amazing project, another amazing beigeflannel video!!!! Love this idea of frames for light switches so much! You have inspired me ❤
