I upgraded the look of my basic fridge for under $40 in just two hours – the materials were beginner-friendly | The Sun

A HOME project whizz shared how she upgraded her basic fridge with a few hours and a small budget.

All it took was two hours of her time and the materials necessary were beginner-friendly.

The content creator (@diy.and.daughters) shared the video with her TikTok followers.

The blonde was unsatisfied with the simple black fridge sitting in her kitchen and decided to tackle it herself.

"Here’s how I flipped this fridge for under $40 in just two hours with this contact paper and these $11 towel bars from Amazon," she said.

She purchased two rolls of sage-green contact paper from Amazon for $7 a roll, as well as two golden towel bars for $12 each.

The total cost of the materials came out to $36 — once they arrived, she got right to work.

She covered the fridge in the contact paper, making sure to push out air bubbles and taking her time.

She removed the attached handlebars from her fridge and replaced them with the golden ones she purchased for the complete look.

"It was my first time using contact paper and it was very beginner friendly," she said.

"I stuck and restuck until I got it just right.

"For the fridge front, I put two pieces right next to each other careful not to overlap them. The seam is invisible!

"To install the towel bar handles, I used screw holes from the old handles and epoxy glue to hold the towel bar brackets in place. Securing with painter's tape while the glued pieces dried."

She was shocked by her own idea and how well the project ended up coming out:"I can’t believe this is the same fridge!" she admitted.
