I wanted to add some interesting texture to my coffee table, but I have to admit, I was too lazy to paint something and I wanted something less permanent in case I wanted to change it...
Hmm... What's clear, easy to clean, cheap, but I can stick things to? And under $6?
Adhesive shelf liner!
I made a full length one for my coffee table, but you could even do smaller ones for place mats.
I used old book pages for mine, but you could use anything printed...
Simply...
Pre-cut a sheet of CLEAR adhesive shelf liner to the size you'd like.
Get your book pages or other media ready. This would be a fab mixed media project/ display.
Flip it so the paper backing side is up.
Slowly peel the backing off a bit at a time and stick as you go. You may need to tape the sides down to hold it in place, or the top initially to keep it from moving.
Once you have all of your media stuck on, you can flip it over and just use that one side or place another piece of adhesive shelf liner on the other side and both sides will be protected.
And Wipeable.
This would be awesome for a book club dinner, or you could use copies of family photos for display, or even display children's art work.
wallpaper?
wrapping paper?
scrapbook paper?
So many endless options!
Did I mention it's totally wipeable? :)

ReplyDeleteOh my!! This is a wonderful idea, Jen. Love how it looks and the wipeable part is certainly a plus.

ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I think I need to go back and buy that tattered old hymnbook that I saw at Goodwill. It would be perfect for a project like this.

The coffee table looks lovely! I wish I had thought of this a couple of years ago when I decoupaged Chinese newspaper on a desk. The very second it got wet it was ruined, shelf paper would have been the solution!
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Linda
