Star Wars Light Switch - Silhouette Challenge

*UPDATE: for a limited time you can buy these in my shop here
Star Wars Light Switch
With three boys in this family, Star Wars can not be easily overlooked. The husband at least waited until Captain Awesome was 2 before breaking out the light saber and showing him appropriate parts of the original Star Wars Saga. Captain Awesome (now 4) has nicknamed the girl in my belly, Princess Leia (and no, we are not naming her Leia). It only seemed appropriate to decorate the boy's room in a space/Star Wars theme. And vinyl can be great for this. 
We haven't done much with decoration, but Captain Awesome is really excited about the idea. The first thing to finally happen was making this Star Wars Light Switch. However, after thinking about it (and consulting the husband) I came up with using "light side" and "dark side" with silhouettes of Luke and Vader instead of the words.

DIY Star Wars Light Switch:
|| I made the files using my Silhouette and then I cut them out on vinyl. I was worried the images would be hard to cut being so small. But it totally worked.

    How fun! Growing up I remember it being a really big deal that we each got to pick out a plate that represented our unique personalities. I wonder why that is so interesting to kids?!

    Havalah, this is so freaking cool! Not even a star wars fan but I'd totally put this in a common space to be that quirky conversation piece!

    I remember that too!! I wonder why too, maybe because they are so fascinated by light switches.

    Will you be making more Light Side Dark Side light switch cover plates before Christmas? Or would you be able to post a jpeg (or other picture file format) of the silhouette? Thanks
