I can't even pull and break off a piece of scotch tape without sticking it to each other so I know I'd really mess up some contact paper! But y'all go on with ya bad selves! 😆
Can you imagine all the debris that would get under that paper, and it would come up. Even if you used duct tape amd it never comes off that happens, and it uproots. They're not even using any kind of sealant over it. And I hope they didn't cover the vents on the microwave. Lol.
Some of these are inspiring. Especially to repurpose old, beat up furniture pieces to use in a child's room, craft room or a work shop. 🤗 I do wish Hometalk would start linking each of the crafters information so we can look them up individually instead of scrolling through all the thumbnails 😒
Agree. Anything with design I have a hard time getting everything to line up right. Seems like you need up teen rolls just to make a patter look right if your lucky.
Some of y'all really need to watch some more videos. Plenty of people have done awesome things with using this on the floor and have done update videos a couple years later and it was still going fine. Not everyone can redo their floors. Especially renters who just want a nice look, temporary, easy, cheap fix that they can take off when they move out.
To turn your white refrigerator into looking like a stainless steel one. Maybe you're trying to make your appliances match without buying all new appliances. That's what I did.
I have used it on my counter tops cause replacing them wasn't an option at the time and we had to do a serious push to move so I used what I had to get the place more livable and this place I mean a handy man special trailer. I have used contact paper to cover 70's mirrors and used it on other things including crafts. For what I have used it on I'm pressed that it's held up this long.
Years ago I did the kitchen counter in marble design and people thought it was a marble counter top. Also, did the bathroom sink cabinet a different design and cover inside utensils drawer.
I think some of the things are cute at a distance at least. I think if your budget is tight or you need something temporary it would be a great fix. I didn't get the marble on the microwave or the contact paper on the kitchen floor though.
Used to be contact paper was looked down on as a nuisance, hard rro install, a waste of time. These ideas are great. I have a small, boring brown refrigerator. Maybe I’ll put leopard print contact paper on it! Thanks for the idea!!
I learned from another vid to seal the contact paper with clear paint sealer after applying to a floor to make it last! I'm gonna try it, looking forward! 😉 I don't wear shoes in my home or allow others to nor is there a lot of traffic in my home so I'm hoping it will last! Looking forward to brightening my bathroom floor up! 😉
@@tiffanyhollywood2108 hi. 😊 I was wondering(if you haven't already done your floor)if you're taking before and after pictures? If you are, I'd love to see the results. Plus I'd love to hear about any tips you have or things you've learned along the way. Lastly,(I think, lol) would you recommend it? Have a great day/night. 🌷🌺 ✨🌸✨🌸✨🌸✨🌸✨🌸✨
I have only used contact paper one time in my life and that was a few years ago I painted a cookie sheet sides with a light color and with a light color contact paper put it in the middle section to adhere my magnets to that I make to sell. A few months ago before my move I purchased a couple of rolls of the black and white floral one from @dollartree and still have not used it. I orig wanted to cover the back side of a maple bookcase that was damaged but because it is vintage I have just propped up a photo in front of it. My apartment is very very tiny and I am hoping to find a bookcase I can paint white and have the contact paper in the back and put it next to a modern day secretary that I have that is already a high gloss black. They will look nice in my office area. I am overwhelmed with the amount of stuff I have and so little room and I am hoping to buy a home next summer, already have one storage unit which is pricy. I do not have a bathroom vanity under my sink, it is a pedestal sink. I would love to see a Hometalk on making a vanity that can also be portable for me that is renter friendly. An idea for you, if one is not filmed yet. I love this channel I think it is one of the greatest and I love going into your homes especially the one very creative woman who is on this the most. I loved her contact paper idea for her TV console and her husband helping out with the shelf. Sorry I always write a novel. I seen to when something excites me. Have a great day. Rebekah in VA
Love all the great ideas! Love the idea of sprucing up my tired typical white apartment refrigerator!! I would love to brighten up my kitchen my purchasing bright and happy contact paper for my fridge! 😉👍🏾 I can't wait to do my floors, thought about that a few weeks ago and didn't even know it was a thing until I found another vid of a young lady doing the same, her vid was likewise very helpful! Great ideas! Enjoyed! 👍🏾😉
Contact paper will not work for floors! It wasn't made to be walked on! Unless contact paper has improved over the years, it will start to come off whatever it is stuck to within a year.
👎🏻how to cover every surface in your house with Contact paper! I would not do the floor. It does not hold up to wear at all. The window projects are good.
Be sure to get ALL the bubbles out from underneath the tact paper. And tact paper on a floor looks nice for a week or so, but it doesn't hold up very well. Then you have a real sticky mess to clean up.
Never ever put contact paper on your kitchen countertops. If you place something hot on the countertop the contact paper will burn, bubble up and or catch on fire.
I used to use contact paper and flannel backed vinyl tablecloths for everything when my kids were little lol.... it was easy clean up from little messy fingers. Contact paper a Goodwill tabletop and throw some vinyl curtains up, and you instantly have a kid proof dining room. And if something shocking happened (lol) it was cheap, and easy to fix
I’m a huge fan of contact paper, AKA Sticky Back Plastic. I’ve just covered the top of my desk that had marks from printer ink after a leak. My nest of tables had seen better days and I covered the tops. Bedroom furniture had white tops and I put oak paper on them and it looks like they were bought that way. I was going to replace all that furniture at a cost of over £1,000 now spent less than £25 and everything looks fantastic.
These are contact paper ideas that Hometalk hasn't even thought of..unsubbing after the last few videos took clips from creators videos I've seen yet give ZERO credit or acknowledgement that this is a compilation of other people's work. At least recreate it yourself for the video if you can't give others the respect of acknowledging their efforts. Smh.
You do realize all of these creators are aware that their ideas are being used by "hometalk." Haven't you ever noticed it's always the same creators. They aren't taking other people's content. If you want to unsubscribe I understand because it seems to be the same videos over and over, but they aren't stealing content.
They said forgotten ideas. Everyone knows these ideas if they've been around for awhile, but newbies to the repurposing world may not. I did my bathroom shower at 18 after moving into my first house. I redid my children's windows when they were 5 and six. Now its their turn to do these things. Just because you've seen or know of these things doesn't mean everyone has. If you want to unsub to a channel that is your progitive. Just like when people are teaching you how to ride a bike the first time or to drive. If they felt the same way you do as a newbie to it and just expected you to know how, what would have happened?
Department or grocery stores usually have them. And I did also see them at home improvement stores like Home Depot and Lowes. I think I also seen them at Office supply stores.
what is the plastic yellow thing called that was used to cut the foam funnel tube into a picture frame? I need something to help me cut wood corners. Thanks
