- DIY Kitchen Countertop Makeover With Contact Paper (HD)
I wanted to change my countertop but because I rent, there weren't too many options. I had to make sure whatever I put, came off without damaging (even though they were already somewhat damaged) the existing countertops. I also had to keep it on a budget. Contact Paper is a great alternative. DO NOT PUT HOT POTS OR PANS ON IT. DO NOT CUT DIRECTLY ON SURFACE! It only takes 2 seconds to grab a cutting board. :)
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me in the comment section below and if you recreate any of my DIY's Please tag me on Instagram or Twitter so I can see them.. you can find my links at the bottom of this description box.
UPDATE: It's been two months and it still looks great! I have had water, juice and other stuff spill on it and nothing has happened to it. It is also very easy to clean. No lifting at corners or anywhere! The only thing left is to see if it comes off as easy as it clams it does but that will have to wait until I move or get bored with it. I will update when either one happens. :)

This video was inspired by MoniqueNelson • Video
Items I used
1.) I bought Contact brand, Black & White Marble contact paper. I had a small counter so only used one roll and almost didn't have enough so make sure to measure your countertop first!
I bought mine from a seller on Amazon but they no longer carry it. If you Google "Contact Brand Marble Contact Paper" you'll find some.
2.) Utility Knife
3.) Card
4.) Scissors
A tiny bit about myself:
Hi, my name is Ivelisse. I've been artistic and creative my whole life. Unfortunately, it wasn't an easy one. I'm a survivor of many trials and tribulations. It caused me to develop serious mental health issues. I was self-medicating by using drugs and alcohol for over twenty years. On August 1st, 2014, I threw myself at the mercy of the Lord and prayed to God to save me. I asked God to forgive me for all my sins, and I forgave everyone who ever hurt me. I've been sober and clean ever since. Glory be to God! I started my walk with Christ along with my health and fitness Journey, and soon after, I found myself itching to get back to my passion, my art! But: I didn't just want to do it for myself. I wanted to share what God blessed me with and did for me and the joy He brings me to others. Not long after, I created my TH-cam channel, DIY No Need To Cry! I took the bottles that were killing me and turned them into art. With each piece I make, I replace a bad memory and create new ones with all of you! Welcome to the crafty fam! God bless you all!

I’ve used this before on a round table, my tip is (and this saved my life) that if you use a hairdryer it makes the paper flexible which makes it easier to put around edges with no creases no nothing!
Thank u
Kinga, I tried to do my round table and stopped right away I decided not to do it. I wish you would’ve made a video on how you did your round table 😊
Kinga, I forgot to tell you I did do my counter tops and you are right about the blow dryer and I’m satisfied with my counter tops👍🏾👍🏾
You did a gret job I`m very impressed HOWEVER I`m making my uncle do mines lol I`d cry or need a whole bottle of wine !
Lol, thank you! Smart thinking! :)
Hello, my crafty fam! And If you're new to my channel, welcome! I've been through a lot in my life. I have even shared a few of those things with you guys over the years. Because of that, people are always asking me where they can donate to help me out. That truly warms my heart and although I may be struggling, I'm okay. I thank God I have all the basic needs. I have food, clean drinking water, clothes, a roof over my head, and access to medical care if needed but, not everyone has access to these things. I was homeless at one point in my life and I know how critical having these necessities are. If you would like to donate to me, I encourage you to give to someone who's really in need instead. I'm happy to announce that my videos now have donation buttons to charities that I think can help those less fortunate than us. I have checked these charities out myself and have even donated to them. I do NOT receive anything from these donations. It all goes to charity. If you enjoy my content, I hope you consider donating. God bless!
That's wonderful. God bless you and your family. I'm about to tackle my kitchen!
Very well done .. that really does require a lot of patience. I’m just watching videos to prepare myself. I’m going to do all of my kitchen cupboards!
Thank you sooo much!! I have this ugly, faded yellow and green laminate counter tops from the 1970's. I want marble counter tops but I can't afford that at this time. I just replaced my Mustard Yellow ( Harvest Gold) stove and refrigerator that was at least 45 years old ( they were here when we moved in 36 years ago). I love your DIY. I'm not too DIY savvy but I think I can do this. You did an amazing job, your counter tops looks Gorgeous! Great Video !!!
You can do this, it's not hard.
Lol!! I was about to google for harvest gold contact paper for my counter tops!!!
I really needed this. I hate dark colors esp in a small area and I need to brighten up my small kitchen so this was helpful.
Excellent video. Love the way you narrate as well as write what you're saying and the fact that you don't waste time on long intros. Quick and easy!
Thank you! :)
LOVE IT. YOU GOT TALENT, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
Thank you mommy
Thanks for the idea..reminds me of my friends place..she lived in a run down block from the outside it looked bleak..when i went inside it was like a palace..from all the ideas she got from you tube people like your video..she couldn't wait to get home and we didn't want to leave!!
Hi i just pressed the arrow went all the way down and read the part about you..u are so brave to have overcome so many bumps on the road of life..now u never have to walk the road alone..God Bless little darling..x
Thank you!! God bless you too 🙏🏼❤
You sounded like an actual professional commentator, your voice needs to be on TV!! x
Lol, and here I am thinking I sound stiff. Thanks hun :)
Nice 👍 job , the salsa 💃 music 🎵 was on point too.
Looks really good. I have the same contact paper to do my kitchen. So glad you showed how you went around the sink, that’s my biggest concern. You did a great job.
loved this video especially when she laughed. It really turned out pretty good
You did a excellent job !!! Just found your channel as I am in the process of doing the same thing. Thanks for the tutorial
Thank you! :)
Lots of patience involved....😰😰 Hats off to your determination
Looking to remodel my kitchen (on a budget of course). Came across your channel. Read your testimony....thanks. Truly an inspiration.
Actually, even though it may have been harder, making it all one piece prevents liquid from going in the cracks which could cause contact paper to loosen. I think u done good!
Excellent! I have one of those concrete kitchen slabs that is a stain magnet, so have just ordered some vinyl sheets and this video has given me the confidence to pull it off...thank you!
I really enjoy watching your video lol thanks 🙏
U just like me...no patients
Really really useful
I love it. U did a nice job and girl the patience u have...O Wow!!!
Great Job. Thank you for sharing your “this is what I would have done different”. Take care. Stay safe.
Great idea, I purchase faux granite paper from Amazon, but I was a little intimidated to put on the countertop. Thanks for the inspiration. I will try in morning.
Awesome, just take your time and it should be fine and thank you ! :)
Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial. very good work! I am in a rental and need this to update the 60's countertop in my kitchen! LOL!
Same, this was super helpful.
Looks great !!!! I don't have any patience either, but I'm gonna give it a try, cause yours came out great !!!
Lol, thanks and good luck! :)
Thank you for the video and the contact paper was excellent.
This is perfect for army barracks countertops , made it look so modern 👍🏻
Nice job. Gives me a little hope for my kitchen.but my problem is broken pieces too but that top is Dope! 😉☺😃
Thank you! That sucks that your's is broken if you rent tell your landlord to fix it and if you own your own house, I think the sell stuff to patch up countertops. :)
This was the first video to come up when I looked up contact paper.
I stayed because of the name 😂😂 I subscribed because of the music 😂😂😂😂
🤣🙌🙏❤
Thank you for sharing your process! I like hearing what when right, and what you realized as you went along.
You've made that look very straightforward but I bet it wasn'tI did that and frankly after all day doing one countertop I gave up the result that you achieved looks fantastic
Looks so awesome!!! I am using white and grey marble contact paper as sort of accents in my bathroom as I change the look of it. As I have covered more and more things with the contact paper, I ended up with a piece that was HORRIBLY wrinkled. I broke out the hairdryer and on low I used it just in front of the credit card. I managed to remove almost every bubble and wrinkle. Also, I had a small spot of an interior edge of a shelf where I rushed and tore it a bit. I turned the dryer on high and sort of melted it back together. I plan on finding a complimentary color for the counter. Maybe black marble with white veins. I am not sure yet. I am a long ways off of doing the counter!!!
Wow, that is great
excellent! thank you for sharing, very helpful! can't wait to try this.
although you did a good job..I like the original counters better..nice diy tho..keep em coming!!
Thank you! :)
Edit: Update video th-cam.com/video/7MrXaE3ttfI/w-d-xo.html
This is an inexpensive, temporary, noninvasive way to update or cover damaged countertops. Not everyone owns a house. Some of us rent and when you rent (for those of you that have never rented) you can NOT make permanent changes to anything in the apartment. If it was my house I could have done a million other thing's that would have looked better, worked more efficiently and would have been more durable/permanent. This was just a way for those of us who are not fortunate enough to own our own house to be able to have a little bit of creative freedom in what our kitchen can look like. I know, how dare us right. No, we can't seal it, use glue, put caulking, use heat tools, add water to make it stick more or add anything that will make it permanent. I had it on for 7 months and all I had to do was use pot holders if I was going to set pots right off the stove on top of it... and cutting boards to cut on, what a concept! Not that big of a deal. It never peeled, water never damaged it and it was easy to clean. I would do it again if I had to.
Well said and you did amazing
DIYNoNeedToCry , I'm so glad I found your video! I recently had an idea about covering my counters with contact paper because I can't afford anything else right now. I bought some contact paper from dollar tree and then I started doubting my idea. Looks like it CAN be done! I do own my home so I can do whatever I want to it and I was wondering if you recommend applying the paper in a different way? Maybe by using heat or glue? Should I put a clear coat on it? Thanks for sharing this!
Thank you so much!!
Oh my gosh....That looks Good!! Later on you could paint your cabinets white!
You did a great job - I'll be doing this trust me. My counters are horrific and need this! Thanks for posting!!!!
You did great! U gave me confidence to mine lol... My wife has been bugging me to do ours for a while... I'll send b4 and after pics of mine. Thanks😊👍
Awesome she'll be happy and okay! 🤗
Your my She-ro! You did an awesome job. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! :)
Bravo, girl!!! You did it so easy, without hair dryer. It is perfect I loved the result!
Looks amazing loads of skill and patience. Love the cheeky laughs too :D
Your story is amazing! And this turned out great ♥️👍 just what i was looking for! Keep it up ❤️❤️❤️❤️
You just saved the day for me in my summer home. Thanks. Good job.
I would love it but no not me you had the patience of a saint..I use this sticky paper on small jobs I did a pc desk that was my last complicated one your counter is fab girl xx mags in ireland
loved this diy and the music!
Aww Thanks hun! :)
bless you! I will do it... Waiting for the right time. I must be very happy and not disturbed 😬
Lol 5 yrs ago I watched this video and I came back searching for u so I can copy your technique. I was very happy when I found this video again. Thank u so much.
🤣 Awesome! 🙌🙏❤
I actually did this with my moms countertop like 7 years ago. Held up SO WELL. Just wore down in commonly used spots.
Great job!
Looks much easier than epoxy!
:)
I'd probably sit a hot pan and mess it up 😒😒 tiny stick pin holes can help get the air pockets out ...you did an excellent job for your first time👍👍
Lol, I hear ya! I sometimes forget but manage to remember just in time. I had herd about the pin thing but I was worried about water seeping in and eventually lifting the contact paper and thank you! :)
Awesome video! Super helpful. About to try this soon
Thank you and that's great! :)
great job! just bought some to do my bathroom. thank you
Hi Trina How it works.Does water or heat effects it .
You did great!!! Thank you for making this video.
Thank you for this video! I'm about to re-do the bathrooms at our spa. I may need help! Lol 😉
Bravo ! You did a great job .. love it ! Thanks for sharing
I just did my kitchen and it does look great but here are the things I discovered. 1. You will have bubbles no matter what you do. Expect them. You can take an exacto knife to make a very small puncture in them to smooth them out. 2. Rounded corners are a pain. I tried the heat method but could not get the smooth look. I finally cut the material vertically and overlapped. Using a granite pattern helped tremendously and did not show my errors. 3. I have now tried 3 different types of contact paper and none of them will stick to particle board. I used a box cutter to solve this. Rather than try to wrap the paper under the counter top, I cut along the edge and it turned out great. Bottom line, patience is a virtue. Have fun.
I done the contact paper on my counters in 2002 and I found a spray bottle of water you can spray counters and it keeps it from sticking right off the bat, and is easily moved to where I needed it to be and just took a card and used it as a squidgy, as u use it to smooth it out in place. Hope this also helps a little.
Laura Adkins how long does this stuff last?
Thank you for sharing but I didn't want to make the paper any more sticky than it already was. At the time I was renting and had to make sure I could remove it, without damaging the existing countertop, when I moved out. I have heard stories that doing with the water creates a stronger bond later on.

Wow this came out beautiful!!!
Thank you so much! I've been looking to redo my counters without spending an arm and a leg!
Am very much inspired by you dear. Love lot from India. May God give you all the happiness.😗
Thank you God bless you too! 🙏💖🤗
You did a great job! Thank you for sharing.
I think you did an awesome job. I'm going to try it. Wish me luck. I hope I'm as successful. Thanks for the video
What a coincidence to click on a video of the exact same thing im looking to do with my name Ivelisse. It was meant to be. Thanks for showing how to do this!
🙌 💖
great Video Thanks for Sharing! new subbie
Thank you and welcome! :)

Oh Man. I wish I had seen this video a month ago! I custom-ordered a marble contact paper wide enough so that I wouldn't have to section it. I assumed that was the only reason people papered in pieces (I love alliteration). Now I know I was wrong. The expensive contact paper I ordered had the consistency of wall paper, so it didn't handle very easily and then - after weeks of practicing with reversed gift wrap (because it has grid markings) and creating the perfect pattern to cut my contact paper from - I am finding it absolutely impossible to do this all in one piece without bubbles and even folds.
So I'm going to try again tomorrow, starting with the back board, as you did. This has been positively painful but your video helped me understand why I am having such trouble, thanks!
Warning, I have this on a desk, do not put anything hotter than a coffee cup on it, and then sometimes if the coffee cup is to hot it will melt a cup ring onto the surface, don't set down a warm or hot pot on it, cake pan or a curling iron... Other than that, its great, easy to clean and has a nice shinny look to it.
U should buy self adhesive stickers then if hv problem with hot stuff 😊✌️
You should have extra sheet for patching.. ..its invisible...in case of hot stuff damage its surface
Use stands or heat insulator type pade for hot stuff
You did a fabulous job, I’m proud of you👍🏼
Looks nice I can't wait to do mine just saying
You did a great job! 👍🏽👍🏽
Your struggle paid off. I thought it turned out pretty nice. I live in an apartment, and I'd like to try this because I'm assuming it's inexpensive yes?
Thank you! Yes, it's cheaper than anything else and depending on where you get your contact paper it's even cheaper. I've only used this brand, this one time so I don't know if other brands are as effective. You can find contact paper in the Dollar Tree, Walmart, Lowes or online, where I got mine. Good luck! :)
DIYNoNeedToCry ...So I'm looking for contact paper? It doesn't have to be specifically for counters? Sorry if this is a dumb question.
No, it's not dumb lol.. that's actually a great question. They sell ones for countertops now but they are a little more expensive then the ones not marketed for countertops. It's not crazy expensive but still more money. I used regular contact paper for mine and I had no problems with it, aside from my struggle putting it on Lol!
DIYNoNeedToCry ..Okay cool. I'll go for the contact paper then. Thanks! 🌞✌👍😀
You're welcome and a tip. If you have the top boarder on your countertop as I did... Do that first, separately. That's where I went wrong. Let me know how it turns out! :)
OMG,,,I subscribed, just because your description about yourself. Everything u said, I am there as we speak, I love doing stuff like this, working with wood, making stuff out of junk. I do everything cheaply though lol, only because I have no income, I admire your bravery and I am looking forward to seeing more videos,,,I'm getting there,,'MY STORY ISNT OVER YET'.
Welcome to the family and congratulations!... you fight that good fight and that's awesome! I will keep you in my prayers. God bless! :)
You did a great job. My counters are horrible and the change is sooo welcome. Working my project this weekend...Wish me luck. Oh I subscribed.
Thank you, good luck and welcome to the family! :)
very beautiful
NNTC: you are amazing; KNOW THAT!! Change...is difficult - in most situations, so - KUDOS to your innate courage, strength and tenacity. At 40 something, you are now in the prime of your life. ENJOY your new-found freedom and life-force. And thank you - for sharing your creativity in your kitchen.
🙏💖🤗
You should repaint the cabinets white and use a light grey on the walls and it will be stunning. All the while only spending less than $70! Win win! What you have already done already is great!
Hello, thank you! That apartment was a rental, and you can't make changes like that when you rent. That's the reason I used the temporary contact paper in the first place. I managed to decorate and make everything work. I wish I had recorded it.
@@DIYNoNeedToCry I don’t try the Heartharp in
Or I would've picked a different color to match cabinet and wall. But good job
Nice! I am doing mine today! :D
That's great! Good luck and take your time with it. :) If you find yourself in a pickle feel free to ask me anything. Let me know how it turns out :)
Great Job, Looks Fabulous.
Thank you so much 😀
AMAZING JOB looks beautiful m where did you get this contact paper from?
Thank you! The link to where I got it, is in the description box above. :)
I’m doing this in my guest house. Thank you!
The counter was beautiful, why would you want to change it?
I'm not a fan of that color. :)
Best thing about contact paper is it's not permanent :) if she ever regret her decision she just has to peel it off and voila back to the other colour!
I was thinking the same thing. 😁
Maybe she wants to protect the tiles
I'm moving into an apartment and going to do the same thing to my desk in my room and my bathroom counter top. Do you think contact paper will ruin the furniture? Because that's the only thing I'm worried about. Btw this is great!
Thank you and congrats on moving! It's so much fun to start in a new place. Hun, this was my first time trying this and I've never tried it on anything else. I can't answer your question because I really don't know, sorry.
You make it seem so easy!! I will try it. Thanks
Wow I love this vid. You are awesome... GREAT job!!!
So Nice!
Thank you !:)
thanks;) own but funds are always hard to find when repairs are needed.
I hear you... when you can save up a few dollars just go to your local hardware store and ask them what to use to fill broken countertops. I know they have stuff for that and it's usually under $20. After that you can buy the contact paper and lay it over the whole thing. Hope you'll be able to fix it soon hun. :)
Looks awesome!
Is this product easy to take off? Say you are renting and have to remove it off the counters after?
I have a removal video... you can find the link in the description box.
Nice job, but I wonder about durability? You can also use 1-3 parts of liquid soap and water, spray the counter top with the solution before you apply contact paper. Makes it so much easier to smooth any tacky film...
It hasn't given me any problems. I use a cutting board when cutting and a potholder when placing something really hot on it. Cleanup is easy and no lifting of any kind sense I put it on. :)
Loved the finish look. Definitely an upgrade. How is it holding up
Thank you! It still looks the same as when I first put it on. I just use a cutting board and potholders when placing hot things on it.
+DIYNoNeedToCry that's great. Quick and easy diy without breaking your pockets
Yes and a great alternative for those of use that rent. :)
i know the feeling. I'm a renter too. I'm always on the lookout for easy diy's
Beautiful job!!!!
Thank you! :)
Hahahha she put that metro card to good use lollllol. How much is the fare now I heard it went up to 3 dollars. I used to live in NYC now I'm in LA. You did a great job honey thanks.
Lol, Thank you... I'm not from there... my boyfriend is. He started laughing when I told him and he said it was 2.50. LA must be such a big difference from NY. How do you like it there?
Well you need a car. The public transportation is not as Advance as NYC but then again NYC is more congested. You get more for your money here when it comes to renting a place. I do sometimes miss the public transportation system in NYC. For when I need to get somewhere on time. The traffic here in LA is torture. The longest i ever been in traffic was 6 hours and this is after being forced to take the side streets. The destination I was trying to get to only supposed to take me an hour and 30 minutes.
I remember the fare used to be 2 dollars but that was in 2008. It has gone up 50cents I see. They probably will bring it up another $ 50 cents in the near future. I also heard that downtown Brooklyn near the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridge is the new Manhattan. Never used be be like that before I moved here. Then again it's great here lol I'm happy I trade in my timbs for sandals lol.
Wow so beautiful
Do the edges and around sink first, then the bigger areas afterwards so you can cover weird seams and you dont have to do patches
Good job :) how do you think this would work on tile countertops?
Hello, It would work but it would sink in where the grout is. So it would still look like tiles but with a new pattern. Also I'm hearing that it is not that easy to take off if you plan on leaving it on for a long time. I left mine on for 7 months and had no problem taking it off but I'm hearing differently from others. I'm not sure if the brand, method of installing or length of time had anything to do with it but it's something to think about if you are thinking of doing it. :)
Looks great!!!!!! I'm going to do this this week! Thanks!
Nice 👍🏿 job I love 💕 this look and idea
Looks very good, but how it will work over counter top tiles with joints?
I think you need to put plaster to make the surface even
Love your new countertop big time 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Update : How is is holding up now since your two month update? I want to do mine 😉
Looks exactly the same as when I first put it on. :)
DIYNoNeedToCry is it heat safe, cause like hot pots and stuff?
No, I use pot holders if I'm going to put a hot pot or pan on it and a cutting board to cut anything. :)
This just gave me so much confidence!!! Looks great!!!🎉
