Contact Paper Craft Ideas: Freezer Update
Contact Paper Craft Ideas: Freezer Update
I have been on a big kick lately regarding contact paper craft ideas. Contact paper is not new but they sure have come a long way with their designs. I just happened to be shopping at the dollar store the other day and snatched a good deal on a cute contact paper design. I had no clue what I was going to do with it but I was buying it!
The design turned out to be a bit too busy for a large area. I brainstormed a bit and decided to give my upright freezer an update. I hate plain white surfaces. To me, those are clean palettes just waiting for a cute design.
Contact paper is really easy to apply. You basically just peel and stick. When you have a busy design it will take a little bit to match up the design but it’s really easy.
I started applying the cute grey and white design to my freezer but after I put on the first strip of paper I thought it would be way to busy to do the whole thing the same design. I have other silver and grey appliances in this area so I opted to add a metal type (looks like stainless steel) contact paper that mimics the same theme in my area. It turned out perfect! It makes perfectly too! I couldn’t be happier with the final outcome. What a simple freezer update!
This is the contact paper that looks like metal or stainless steel: Con-Tact Brand Metal FX Creative Covering Self-Adhesive Shelf and Drawer Liner. I will warn you though… this paper is not easy to find. I’ve only found it once at my local hardware store. Most of the time I have to order it on Amazon.
This is the other design I used on my freezer: Talisman Pale Grey
I would definitely check out your local dollar store the next time you go to see if they have contact paper. You may just get lucky!
Here are a few of my other favorite Contact Paper designs:
Rugby Chevron pattern (many different colors)
Polka Dot Pattern (comes in 3 different colors)
Old Pallets or Barn Wood pattern
Is this hard to remove, or leave a residue? I rent & wouldn’t want it to be an issue.
Thanks!
You are not making this one your window. You are making it on paper and hanging it in your window. No mess. No fuss.
