- How to make DIY wire shelf covers in this super easy budget friendly renter friendly way!
In this video, I will be showing you how to transform your wire shelves into wooden shelves. The end result looks super professional! The vinyl wrap is only $1.25 and the foam boards are also $1.25 each. Everything here is from dollar tree and trust me the end results look high class.
Let me know if you give this a try. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I love the idea you allowed viewers to see errors in your video. Thank you. I love your upgrade idea for the pantry. I’m glade I saw it before tackling my clean up. ❤❤
☺️Happy to hear that you got to view this video before tackling your pantry and that you received value 🥰 yes, I believe that we can all learn from others mistakes.
Finally, someone does something nice with a truly small pantry. We have the same one and I hate it but this should help me warm up to it a little bit lol.
😄 yes, it honestly will ☺️ you will even want to have the door open because it will look so nice 😅 I had mine open for days afterwards because the upgrade looks so beautiful
Imagine having a truly small kitchen without a pantry ( I have) Without any pantry. And you'll love yours.
Oh and imagine not having a Dollar tree or anything resembling it.
Thank you for sharing this perspective!
Love this idea! My parents just moved and they have those wire shelves in their pantry. My mom hates them, but doesn’t want to spend the money to replace them. I’m going to try this technique and see what she thinks! I’ll report back when I’m done.
Oh that is lovely🥰 Yes! Please report back🤗 judging by the amounts of likes from your comment, many of us want to hear what your mom thinks of the final result 🥰 I read someone’s comment and they will be using white foam board instead of black (like I did) to minimize contrast. Especially since the bottom is exposed. 💡
I thought this was real wood before I watch the video looks so good.
😁😆 yay! Happy to hear that the pic looks like real wood 😊 I’m absolutely in love with the final look. Definitely give this a try
I would love to know who gave this a try! Also, forgot to mention that this doesn't just have to be done with wooden pattern vinyl. There are endless vinyl patterns (marble, flat color, stone). 😁
Very nice and budget friendly, Thank you for sharing and kudos to your personal contractor for assisting you. 🙏🏽
I think I may try something like this for the wire shelving unit I have above my bed for storage!
You’re very welcome 🤗 Hope you give this a try! Lol! my hubby def did excellent
Let us know how it turns out 🤗
@@AtHomeWithLucy thanks! I definitely will! C: I'll probably do some non-wood pattern with pink, though.
I loved the quick shot of your orange kitty sitting right in the middle of what you're trying to do! lol
😊 Gizmo is such a cutie. He is always on most of my videos 😁
I have been trying to figure out what to do to cover allllll these wire shelves in our home ! Thank you! Here is hoping my 5 local DTs have foam boards back in stock!!
😊 Happy to have provided a budget friendly DIY. Check Walmart or Amazon. The price will be higher than $1.25 but def cheaper than the real deal. Or is it possible to ask the person working in the Dollar store for a restock on them? It’s worth the ask, right😅
I loved this idea when I saw it on Do It On A Dime a couple years ago but she ran through it a little fast and didn't explain the pitfalls you might experience like you did. Thanks for doing this video. It made the process a LOT easier to understand.
Thank you 🥰 Glad to hear that you received value! I saw this years ago when I was living with my parents. Not sure from what channel though. I was very young. The instant that I moved out of my parents house I remembered that I could enhance my shelving 😁
@@AtHomeWithLucy you did a great job!!
I’m going to try this and add puck lights!! Thanks for this!
Yay!! I’m so excited for you! You’re going to love the results. My husband wants me to add it in his display room now because it looks that good ☺️ Puck lights 🤯 I may add these to mine too. Thank you for the pointer
I completed mine, waiting for my new canisters to come but it already looks so nice!! I wish I knew how to add the pic.
I’m so glad that it turned out nice! Once the lights arrive, you should create a short and tag me🥰 this way, I can see the final result! Also, I created an updated video to this AND mentioned that you gave us ALL a creative new look into these wooden shelfs! So thank you so much again for this input. I’m sure many other people will now add lights under to give their shelfs a beautiful aesthetic glow 🥰
Genius idea!!
You and your hubby make a great team! Nice job.
Love this idea!..it looks really good..awesome job!..im gonna try it😃
Yay! I’m so excited for you! You’re going to love the end result 🥰 trust me, you will stare for minutes and admire your work in the end 😊
Excellent idea. Great job 👍
Team work. I just ❤the fact you showed all the success and errors made for this diy.
Same size of our pantry and showed your video to my husband so we’ll try our best to do it( coz he’s not handy man and me too don’t know how to do it lol) thank u so much for sharing your skills…👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Excited to hear that you are going to give this a try! 🤗Once your husband grasps the idea, he will be good. At first my hubby, didn’t understand the concept. So I just bought the materials and started doing it myself UNTIL he saw what I was doing and took over the project 😅 he did it beautifully and probably better than I could have🥰Also, he took on other house project after so… hey this may open the door for other home improvements 😅
Great job!! It looks so chic and high-end!! 👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you 😊 and yes I agree that they look high end. My husband and I are obsessed and are working on covering all of the wire shelves from our home 😁. We will be trying out a marble pattern pretty soon.
Where else in your house do you have wire shelving that you want covered in a marble pattern?
All of the upstairs closets 😊 I kind of want to try a black or white vinyl wrap on at least one of them. It may look nice with the white walls and black or white shelves 🤔
Excellent idea. I love how your husband is right there helping you out.
Thank you! 😊 Yes, my Hubby is very supportive of my DIY projects 😅 also, we have been together for sooo many years that when one of us is trying out something new the other one gets involved 😂
Looks like her hubby is doing the DIY, maybe it should be his TH-cam channel, great if you have someone to do all the cutting for you 🤔
@@AtHomeWithLucy ❤️
What’s mine is his 🥰we are married so technically its his too. Thank you for watching! 💗
I started doing this in my closet a couple of years ago using a black and white floral contact paper. I like your method much better. I’m going to do my pantry first then redo my closet. Thanks for the inspiration!!!
❤ Shirley
🥰 Happy to hear that you got value from this video! Can’t wait for you to try this. Let me us know how it all turns out😁
This is ingenious … I HATE HATE HATE wire shelving, in closets, pantries or utility rooms …
I actually bought those stiff rolls of plastic shelf liners which work great. I have them in top of closets too, so clothes don’t get that wire grid pattern, but have I said I HATE wire shelving? This looks like a great inexpensive hack to cover them.
I will DEFINITELY give this a try come spring
I have the same opinion when it comes to wire shelfs 😅 Can’t wait for you to try this out! You will absolutely love the results, I know it. 🤗There are many other patterns to pick from. My hubby and I will be adding some to his closet and will probably use a marble pattern or a cherry oak wrap
Looks very nice, great job, thanks for sharing!
Thank you! 😊 Always happy to share anything that will provide value to others 🥰 Especially during times like now
omg so happy i found this! i just saw a similar tutorial that required plywood, a jigsaw, wood stain and a bunch of other stuff and honestly this looks just as good! def gonna try this
Yay! Super glad you found this before trying the other method 😊 this method is definitely a great alternative and once you’re ready you can upgrade ☺️ here 2 tips mentioned in the comments: pick out white foam board to match the wire color shelves; add puck lights for that extra touch;
This is a great idea! I just happened to order a couple of wire shelves this week and I’m going to try this. Thank you for sharing this with us. I love it!❤️
You’re most welcome 🤗 can’t wait for you to try this 🥰🤍
I think this is nothing short of genius!! I wanted to make these shelves, but I have no saws and frankly don't trust myself with one!! This is easy and affordable, can be done with basically an Exacto knife, and looks great! I also love how you take the time to show step-by-step exactly how you do this. I just watched a tutorial before yours, and she was more focused on telling everyone where she got her wardrobe than showing how to make the shelves. Great video, clever idea; thank you!! 😊
I’m glad you enjoyed it and will give this a try 😊 thank you for your kind words too! I am a step by step gal so definitely had to deliver a step by step tutorial 😅
LOL, know exactly who you are talking about :)
It’s a great project and I enjoyed watching a couple work together! Great teamwork!
😁thank you! My hubby and I have been together for a while so we will most likely be seen together on many DIYs 😄
Awesome job! Love the teamwork. Shelves are so beautiful. Thank you so much for this idea. I was about to go out and purchase expensive wood. This is such a money saving idea. Love it, love it, love it!
Happy to hear that you will give this a try! It’s one of my favorite DIYs in my home 😊 you will love it 💜
Great idea!!
Thank you! 😊 I hope you give it a try 🤗 trust me you’ll love the transformation
Looks really good Lucy and Husband!!!
We are happy that you like the final product as much as we do 🥰 Definitely a fun upgrade on a budget 😁
@@AtHomeWithLucyhi ❤ how did the foam board hold up over time?
Great idea! It looks Great too!
Thank you! I kind off want to remove the pantry door 😅 to show off my pantry 😄
Not now but in the long run when I’ve used all the inexpensive ways to upgrade my home, I’d like to purchase a door with a cutout so you can see some of the inside with the door closed!
I believe that do with you can now and upgrade to a higher cost materials once you are able to afford them😊 These shelves look so beautiful and I’m so happy to share a budget friendly with anyone who is looking for a quick and user friendly project💗
I’m going to do that in my kitchen pantry. Great idea!
Yay!! I’m excited for you! I wish there was a way to share pics with one another in here! There’s so many people who have tried this and I would love to see everyones results 🥰
@@AtHomeWithLucy I wish there was too because it came out so beautiful.
Looks good
Thank you! 😊 it is super affordable and easy to make. Also, there’s other designs to choose from
I like this video. I've done a project similar to this, but I used display board (dense cardboard), which I've layered anywhere from two to four layers thick, applying E6000 glue between each layer.
Display board can be pretty difficult to cut, but it is durable--especially when layered and glued.
The main reason why I don't care for the wire shelves is because trying to get items to stay upright when you put them on the shelves is impossible--the items always tip over in one direction or another. It's a right old bloody pain!
Great idea on the display board tip and layering. This definitely sounds sturdy and durable than the foam board 😊 thanks for sharing!
i have not tried this yet but im going too and i will definitely let you know the results i think this is a great ideal
Yay!! Yes, please let us know the results 🤗 I’m sure others will find your comment useful too
Great idea and looks great, too. Can you send your husband to do my shelves?
😂😁😆😄👏 This is the best comment I’ve read so far. I wish I could rate comment 10/10
Really nice.
Thank you! 😊 I hope you give this a try. There’s lots of other patterns to choose from
Great job 🥳
Thank you!! 🥰
Inventive, clever, and expensive fix for preventing things from falling through. The plain white foam core board would also look nice.
I totally agree, Connie! I plan on using white foam board to match the white wire shelving. Doing it this way, it will look like a white board was used when you can see under the upper shelves. I immediately saw how contrasting the black foam board looked with the white wire shelving and thought how nice it would like all white. Great minds think alike!
😁 yes, definitely keeps everything in place. I agree, plain white foam board is definitely the route to go to prevent contrast at the bottom. 😊
Looks great wayyy better than the wire shelves !
Yes and the items actually stay in place 👌 double win 🤗
That is nice thought about doing something like this because we have those wire racks to for out on our front porch but your idea is much better than what I was thinking about but my only concern is when we get a lot of rain they are going to get ruined but I guess i could put a tarp up
🤔 Talked this over with my Hubby and we both agree that putting the tarp may minimize damage BUT there are other concerns such as humidity or sun damage. I was thinking that you could use a water proof vinyl wrap but the foam board exposed is the other concern.
Your shelves look great - just subscribed.
Thank you 🥰 and Welcome to the family🤗 🎉 Super excited to have you here!
Ingenious
Thank you! 😊 hope you give this a try
Good idea
Hey! We have the same name 🥰 yes it is 😊 Give it a try, you’ll love the result 😁 Also makes you feel like you accomplished a big task 😅
1. Fold the vinyl over the styrofoam at the side of a dinner table.
2. The vinyl makes it easier to dust off and clean with liquids. It also makes the plank sturdier than styrofoam only.
Thank you for the tips 🥰
@@AtHomeWithLucy You do great!
Looks so custom! Great job! Inspirational.
Thank you! Glad to hear that you have been inspired 🥰
Smart husband. 👍🏻
Yes, my hubby is the best 🥰 💎
budget best friend discount friendly
Go teamwork!!
👏🤗🤗 🙌
I have a question Lucy~ 🤔
I noticed a bunch of lines showing through the vinyl on the shelf where hubby was taping the flap. Were those by chance, markings from your rings when smoothing out?
Hi ☺️ Consulted with my Hubby and he mentioned he doesn’t believe that it may have been the ring but it may have been due to pressure when applying the vinyl wrap. But it wouldn’t hurt to remove any rings before starting and to apply with light pressure. Hope this helps 😁
This turned out nice. I have a question…does the foam board move when adding or taking items to and from the shelf?
Thank you!!! Since my hubby secured it in place with tape, the foam board does not move. 😊 please refer to timestamp 11:50 to see how he secured the foam board
@@AtHomeWithLucy well that was simple enough to do. Thanks for responding and sharing that.
Where did you get that color of vinyl wrap, what color is it? Thank you
Dollar Tree ☺️ Color: knotty pine
How many packs of vinyl wrap did you use?
I believe that it was one roll per shelf. So 5 in total.
I hope the they still sell the wood look vinyl wrap
🤞I hope they still have the wood pattern too 🥰 if it’s not in your local city dollar store, research near by cities 😊
If you can't find the wood look vinyl at dt, Walmart is where I get mine.
Glad to hear that you found the wood vinyl paper in another store 😊 I bet it’s better quality too than the one from dollar tree
Evidently the vinyl paper isn’t as sticky as the Contact brand paper I used to get years ago. That stuff was super sticky and I don’t think you could have peeled it back up to reposition or get bubbles out.
I don’t remember the contact paper I used being ‘re-positionable’ either! What a nice upgrade!
Yes, 😊 vinyl paper is definitely much more forgiving.
Why did y’all cut inside of the foam board instead of not wasting foam board?
We wanted a smaller height of the rim for the shelves. It’s personal preference. Using the full foam board may look more appealing and beautiful on my clothing closets though. So yes, if you prefer a fuller edge then definitely use all. Some of the materials that was left over was saved in case we need it as filler for other projects ☺️
Your husband did all the work. 😂
Smart gal!
Lol!! 😅 I presented the vision to my hubby and he delivered 💯👌😊
The term is called ‘Scoring’ to not cut completely. Hope that helps.
Definitely helps! Thank you ☺️ I created an updated video on this and would have love to know the proper term 😊 Will definitely remember this for next time
What was wrong with your wire shelves ? I like them better.
Sometimes things don’t sit well on the wire shelving.
Personally, I think the labor is 100% worth it! Great job, Lucy and hubby! 😊
Yes, like Annseabolt mentioned some of the items don’t sit right and fall through. The other reason is for pure aesthetics. I always loved the wood pattern pantries and now that I have my own home, I wanted to give this a try but on a budget 😅. For now, wood pattern is my style but I may change it to a different look later on☺️ Figured, many other beautiful souls would want to give their wire shelves a new look too
Wish I could see the puzzled look on your American viewers' faces as they vainly attempt to add "centimeters" to "inches". #noconcept
i think getting real wood cut at a hardware store would be better and last
Yeah, I was working with a budget. A very small budget 😅
U copied another TH-camr!!!
Why is she keep saying add “centimeters”? when she’s using American measurement system with inches.
Those lines are 1/8th of an inch, they’re are not centimeters measurements.
I mean I hate to play on stereotypes here.
Not sure 😅 I guess I was just in the flow of recording and crafting maybe 😂
