How to Cut the Screw Holes in the Light Switch Cover

Hi! I'm John with expertvillage.com and we're making light switch plate covers. We have to cut the holes. We've already cut the hole and we want to hold this back. This picture isn't going anywhere. It's on there. Once it dries, there's no way it can come off. It's dried already. If this is not sticking all the way, once we've cut it right here, just bring it back and just work with it. You can cut it off if you want. It's not going anywhere. There's nothing wrong with getting some more Mod Podge and putting it down there. Now we've got to poke the holes for the screws. The best way to do is to just simply press on it. It's wet enough to press on it. You can see where the hole is. Get your little Exacto knife and poke through. Then get a screw and just press it on there. Press on it and it'll dry like that. Once the screw is on there, you won't be able to see. You should get some other colored screws because that kind of looks lame with it just being silver.
