to do this hack, you'll need to measure the area to cover with a tape measure. with a pencil, mark the area on your selected paper. place the paper on top of the panel to see if fits correctly and make adjustments, if required.apply glue on the panels and stick on the paper from one side to the other, pressing with your fingers as you go along to prevent the formation of bubbles. repeat until all panels are covered.
no more "un-neatness".see more on claudia's superziper blog (in portuguese) or the google translated english version.
Love the idea and spray-on adhesive would work really well for this!
ReplyDeleteFunny, I did that, too and didn't even consider it a hack! Only I use taped-up pieces of scrapbook paper so I can change the look whenever I feel like it.
ReplyDeleteA stiff blind, computer keyboard, or rolling pin can be used to create a smooth surface when trying to apply a thin substance to something else.
ReplyDeleteLook better and more colourful than before. Cool Idea!!

I did this to my aneboda wardrobe. New handles completed the look.
