Complete a fridge makeover using items from the dollar store and Goodwill.
This idea might be one of my most *controversial* posts ever. People either love or hate this project. There doesn’t seem to be much middle ground with this one. I like bold colors and big ideas, so this was fun for me. I originally posted this project on the Dollar Store Crafts site when I was a writer there, and I thought it would be fun to share again here.
I have a love/hate relationship with my stainless steel refrigerator. While I love the look of stainless steel, I hate how hard it is to keep it clean! I’m always wiping fingerprints and smudges off the doors and handles. I saw these adhesive backsplash sheets at Dollar Tree and knew I’d found a solution to my problem.
- Adhesive backsplash (4) – $1 per sheet at Dollar Tree
- Game pieces – from Goodwill San Antonio
- Glue
- Magnets
Step one: Peel the backing off the backsplash, and adhere it to the refrigerator. Use a piece of cardboard or a credit card to smooth out the bubbles.
Step two: Cut pieces to size and continue until the refrigerator is covered.
There are different patterns of this adhesive backsplash available, so you could easily change this to match your decor. This product is a very light foil-like material, so it was easy to apply and it clings well. It’s not as thick as adhesive vinyl. I like the pop of color and pattern. And I love that I can easily and inexpensively change it when the mood strikes!
Update: The backsplash sticker peeled off cleanly and didn’t leave any residue on the refrigerator! I had it on for several months and it never bubbled or peeled, and it came of with no mess left behind.
