Description

Transform your boring fridge into a pretty fridge!

Instructions

    Line the refrigerator with shelf liner. I found a squeegee & a bit of patience helped. Since my contact paper was not as wide as my fridge, I rolled it out sideways in segments. If you look closely you can see a bit of overlap, but the painted stripes help to mask this. I cut my paper 1/4 inch larger than it should be on the sides & the top since the directions said the paper may shrink over time.

    Tape out your stripes or desired pattern.

    Paint stripes! I found that two light coats covered pretty well. Because you're painting on what is essentially plastic, be mindful of your brush strokes. Paint in only one direction in large sweeping motions.
