Can you imagine all the debris that would get under that paper, and it would come up. Even if you used duct tape amd it never comes off that happens, and it uproots. They're not even using any kind of sealant over it. And I hope they didn't cover the vents on the microwave. Lol.

The amount of air bubbles and uneven spacing in some of these are astounding

Some of these are inspiring. Especially to repurpose old, beat up furniture pieces to use in a child's room, craft room or a work shop. 🤗 I do wish Hometalk would start linking each of the crafters information so we can look them up individually instead of scrolling through all the thumbnails 😒

Some of y'all really need to watch some more videos. Plenty of people have done awesome things with using this on the floor and have done update videos a couple years later and it was still going fine. Not everyone can redo their floors. Especially renters who just want a nice look, temporary, easy, cheap fix that they can take off when they move out.

I have used it on my counter tops cause replacing them wasn't an option at the time and we had to do a serious push to move so I used what I had to get the place more livable and this place I mean a handy man special trailer. I have used contact paper to cover 70's mirrors and used it on other things including crafts. For what I have used it on I'm pressed that it's held up this long.

These people got $10,000 worth of contact paper in their house.

It strikes me that for a number of these projects wall paper would be cheaper and far easier to use. Creative thinking though.

To turn your white refrigerator into looking like a stainless steel one. Maybe you're trying to make your appliances match without buying all new appliances. That's what I did.

Years ago I did the kitchen counter in marble design and people thought it was a marble counter top. Also, did the bathroom sink cabinet a different design and cover inside utensils drawer.

I have actually done several of these. However I can't see contact paper looking good on floors for very long.

I wrote to them too that this was the best so far I have seen.

I have only used contact paper one time in my life and that was a few years ago I painted a cookie sheet sides with a light color and with a light color contact paper put it in the middle section to adhere my magnets to that I make to sell. A few months ago before my move I purchased a couple of rolls of the black and white floral one from @dollartree and still have not used it. I orig wanted to cover the back side of a maple bookcase that was damaged but because it is vintage I have just propped up a photo in front of it. My apartment is very very tiny and I am hoping to find a bookcase I can paint white and have the contact paper in the back and put it next to a modern day secretary that I have that is already a high gloss black. They will look nice in my office area. I am overwhelmed with the amount of stuff I have and so little room and I am hoping to buy a home next summer, already have one storage unit which is pricy. I do not have a bathroom vanity under my sink, it is a pedestal sink. I would love to see a Hometalk on making a vanity that can also be portable for me that is renter friendly. An idea for you, if one is not filmed yet. I love this channel I think it is one of the greatest and I love going into your homes especially the one very creative woman who is on this the most. I loved her contact paper idea for her TV console and her husband helping out with the shelf. Sorry I always write a novel. I seen to when something excites me. Have a great day. Rebekah in VA

For covering glass it's easier to use a contact paper that clings, rather than a sticky one. Easy to change if you want something different, too.

Be sure to get ALL the bubbles out from underneath the tact paper. And tact paper on a floor looks nice for a week or so, but it doesn't hold up very well. Then you have a real sticky mess to clean up.

I’m a huge fan of contact paper, AKA Sticky Back Plastic. I’ve just covered the top of my desk that had marks from printer ink after a leak. My nest of tables had seen better days and I covered the tops. Bedroom furniture had white tops and I put oak paper on them and it looks like they were bought that way. I was going to replace all that furniture at a cost of over £1,000 now spent less than £25 and everything looks fantastic.

I wrapped an old car with contact paper...it actually worked.. just take your time with it
