Article: Use a tape measure to measure all the way around the outside edge of the box. Write down both the box's length and width so you can get a frame that fits over it. If your circuit breaker sticks out from the wall, measure its depth as well. If you can find a piece of art you like, it makes for a great cover. Otherwise, you can buy frames from craft or hobby stores. You can also construct your own frame if you can't find one to buy. Some frames, like shadow boxes, can be opened. Make sure you have enough space on the wall for the frame to open completely. Choose a frame that is slightly bigger than the box so it can fit over it. The frame can be much bigger than the box. Bigger frames will take up extra wall space, so make sure this is what you want. If you need to cover an empty frame, pick up a piece of fabric from a craft supply store. Center the frame in the fabric, then fold the edges over the frame. Approximately every 1in (2.5cm) along the frame, staple the fabric to the wood. If you have a hard time folding the fabric, try ironing it flat first. You can cut off any excess after you fold it. You can repurpose old blankets or other material to use as a frame cover. Place the nail above the box, at least 1in (2.5cm) above the center of the uppermost edge. Use a nail about 2in (5.1cm) long. Make sure the nail sticks out enough to hang the frame over the circuit breaker. The circuit breaker is always next to wooden support beams in the wall that can be used to support the frame. Find a recessed spot on the right or left side of the frame. If it isn't there, use a chisel to chip out a spot as big as the hinge. Place the hinge, then use a 3in (7.6cm) steel screw to fasten it to the door. Secure the hinge's other end to the frame's base. Make sure the door is tight against the frame before you screw the hinge in place.
