You might know that I have a thing for contact paper. First with my home studio, then Ruby's room, and then my new studio. The thing with contact paper is that when you're using it for its traditional and functional use as drawer liners or cabinet liners, you often have a ton left over because you have to buy a whole roll just to fill a couple drawers. So with my love of decorating with contact paper, I'm going to show you a super easy way to use those leftover scraps of contact paper you might have in your house from other projects and put them to good use in another way...by decorating your door. I'm using gold contact paper because I had a ton leftover from my new studio toe kick project, but you can use any color or pattern contact paper (or a mix of whatever you have)!
1. Start by cutting the contact paper into strips that are at least 2" longer than the width you need (that way you can have the bit of excess fold onto the door sides for a seamless look. My strips are 4" wide, but you can make them skinnier or wider based on your preference.
2. Next, place strips one-by-one until you reach the desired amount of coverage. I decided to cover the whole door with evenly spaced stripes. With each piece, simply smooth out any air bubbles in each piece as you go.
And voila! It's so easy and super cute! And the best part is—it's totally temporary. So if you rent your home or if you just want to change it a year later, you can with no harm done to the door.
