The Blog: Damask Door

I got a little crafty the other day and my mission was to make the door to my room different from the rest of the house. I am planning on changing my whole house look to something more modern but there are some issues that still have me on hold so I will just do my room and wait for the rest to happen.

Anyways... my door is a black wood color. Before I did this it already had some contact paper of a lighter wood color that helped me a lot with my new mission. I went to Kmart and got some gift wrap paper of a damask print [the same one I'll use for my future storage boxes], got a clear contact paper roll. The other materials ruler, spray glue and the black sticky paper [which i got from my work] I already had it but if you cant get the sticky paper you can use black contact paper instead.

First I covered the door with the clear contact paper. Then to glue the gift wrap paper y spread some spray glue. I used the clear contact paper to protect the door so when I get tired of my design it is easy to remove without harming the wood. After that i just glued the paper and then trim the borders... after that i just added the sticky black paper to the bottom and all done.

If you are not sure [like me] of how tall/wide is your door get double of everything. I came out short but was able to fix it. Go Crafty me! Now I have a new door that looks awesomely cool and totally different and everything under $10 cause I had most of the items around. By the way the door knob will be black sooner or later so it will all match perfectly.
