$1 Contact Paper Refrigerator Makeover

by Barn Tree Place

$1.00

Easy

I have to admit...This was the first time that I can say, I was so excited to clean out the refrigerator!

1 contact paper refrigerator makeover, appliances, repurposing upcycling

Look how cute it looks!!

With only a $1 purchase of contact paper from the Dollar Store, I was able to transform my kitchen refrigerator.

Clean your refrigerator shelves before adhering the contact paper. Cut the paper to the size of the glass that you are covering.

For the next step, if you have an extra person around the house to help, it could make it go a little easier for you, however not necessary.

Remove backing from the contact paper. Line up to the edge and corners of one side. Slightly holding the paper up with one hand, with the opposite hand, rub in a back and forth motion on top of the contact paper to press into place. Make sure to get all the creases and air bubbles out, as you are working your way across the surface of your glass.

Replace your shelve, step back and admire how cute your refrigerator looks!!

Super cute idea. However, doesn't this hinder the refrigerator light from serving its purpose for the lower shelves? :/

How do you get it off when you have to move out?

I did this exact contact paper 2 years ago. Still exactly in place. Easy to clean. No fingerprints show. No problem with lighting. I would do this again. The Pioneer Woman sells her favorite design contact paper exactly for this use at Walmart.

  Me too!! I just changed mine out with a new kind but a straight edge razor helps with the stubborn areas but it peeled off pretty easy, even after 2 years.

  I lined all my pantry shelves with this paper which I got at the $ Store. I love it. Never thought about the frig!
