TRANSFORM YOUR FRIDGE! 
(Without painting it)

Morning! The old silver fridge in my rental flat stuck out like a sore thumb in my colourful kitchen.  I couldn’t paint it (because it was a rental), so I wrapped it in removable vinyl instead! 

I really believe in just going for it and having a bit of fun with your home. So I tried wrapping it myself but it was an epic fail! Hence calling in a pair of Brazilian car wrappers to save the day (I was on a deadline!)

But what I learnt was this -

> You need two people for this kind of job

> Magnets are great for holding it in place

> Peel back one section at a time - cut off the bulk of the paper you peel back with a scalpel and fold the remaining small section back on itself. 

> Stick it down slowly and gradually with a smoothing tool, pushing out bubbles as you go. 

> Wrap tightly over details you need to show through and cut them out with a scalpel after it’s stuck down, making sure it’s stuck really well along the cut edges. 

> Use a warm hairdryer to gradually soften the vinyl so that it’ll stretch smoothly round the corners. Don’t overheat it though, because it will warp and tear! 

> If there are still some small bubbles at the end, use a pin to prick them out and press them down. You’ll be amazed that the hole doesn’t show afterwards! 

What do you think? Is this crazy, or genius?!!
