Candy-Wrapper Decoupage How-To
1. Flatten wrappers by ironing them at a low temperature.
2. Cut wrappers to desired shape; you could line them up to make a graphic pattern or overlap them in a more random way.
3. Rub wrapper with Martha Stewart glue stick.
4. Apply to switch plate.
5. Rub out wrinkles with bone folder or fingers.
6. Repeat process until entire switch is covered.
7. Using a utility knife, make an X over the switch opening; fold over and glue in place on back of plate. If there is excess along the edges, fold under and glue in place. Punch screw through covered screw hole.
8. Seal entire plate with Martha Stewart decoupage gel.
9. Let dry for about 20 minutes.

The Martha Stewart Show, October 2007

I made a decoupage picture frame a few years ago with the Halloween candy wrappers that my daughter got from trick or treating. Then I put a picture of her in her costume in it. Dollar store frames are great for decoupage projects!
Love it, I am so going to decoupage my light switches in my party room like this!!!
Wonder what other things I can do this theme with?
looks so adorable
What a great idea I am going to do a few of these with some wrappers I've saved from Tootsie Pops I will post them at hddgrooming.blogspot.com Martha has some great ideas!
I just love this idea. I am planning on converting my basement to a game room and this is a perfect idea for such a room.
