  • Want to fix or cover wire shelves in your pantry or linen closet? Look no further! Nothing stands up on them anyway. 😆 This hack is a perfect solution that can be completed in other 30 minutes and under $10 (just $2 a shelf)! Cover those shelves and say hello to a custom look on a shoestring budget. This hack is perfect for renters and apartment dwellers because it's completely removable!
    SUPPLIES:
    - 1 foam core board (Dollar Tree, 1 per shelf)
    - 1 roll of contact paper (Dollar tree, 1 per shelf)
    - Exacto Knife
    - Packing Tape (Dollar Tree)
    Pinspiration here but I made a few changes!: thefrugalhomemaker.com/2015/02...

    Just subscribed to your videos and did this with my wire shelves in my laundry room today with one modification - instead of cutting and wrapping the lip separately, I scored it, let it bend down at at 45 degree angle, taped the back like you did (just to be sure it's not going anywhere), then wrapped the whole thing in one sheet of contact paper. Was trickier, but looks more like a thick, solid shelf. Thanks for the inspiration! I love how it turned out!!

    Let me tell you, I watched this weeks ago and I went straight to the dollar tree store and bought what I need it. I took a day off and I did one shelf 🤪🤪 I’m happy as a clam!!! I didn’t do the lip and it still looks AMAZING!!!!! I’m going to get back to work but wanted to find this video and sing your praises!!!

    I've been doing this for years! Love this hack! The shelving unit I bought came in a cardboard box so I just cut that box and spray painted it different colors! On one shelf, I bought a hand towel from the dollar store to put on the shelf to add some more pop to it :) Thanks for making this video! Very simple, and cost effective!

  • @catherinerice7854
    @catherinerice7854 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is a GREAT idea. I not only added two more shelves to my "linen/toiletries" closet the 3 shelves that I keep well stocked with toiletries is now beautiful and super organized. I left the top 3 shelves open (didn't place the shelf covers on them) because I wanted to be able to view the linens stored on each. I now "roll" my towels and many other linens just as Kathryn suggested in a video many many videos ago to create more space. Kathryn, you have the best ideas. Keep it up girl!

    Omg that looks so good! I just watched a tutorial video where they made wire shelf covers using wood panel boards and 1x2 wood boards, which does look nice, but can get pricey and would be better for homeowners. I then came across your video and I think your method is so great for someone like me in a rental, and MUCH friendlier to my pockets lol. I’d even be willing to “splurge” on the contact paper lol. I can’t wait to see some of your other videos now!

    YES!! This is exactly what I was looking for!! I'm building a "modular" bookcase/shelving unit/drawers to put on the sides and over my bed, and I was a tad worried about adding extra weight with pinewood or any cheaper option. But this foamcore idea is great!! And if I don't skim on the contact paper, I'll get the scandinavian finish look with a woody contact paper!! Yaaaasssss!!! Thank you!!!
