DIY Refrigerator Shelf Liners

How to make your own DIY Refrigerator Shelf Liners. I love attention to detail! Organizing, unique decor, and the little details in my house are what 'make' my home....well, 'home sweet home.' I wanted to share something that I made for the refrigerator...or as my daughter would say 'frigafrader' {so cute}...this craft can be done quickly and inexpensively, two things that I look for when doing anything DIY for the home to create a nice result.

This is a tutorial about how to make your own DIY Fridge Liners, for the glass shelves in your refrigerator!

Fridge Liners, Mats, or Coasters which are basically 'liners' made for your fridge shelves. These keep your glass shelves clean and instead of pulling out entire heavy glass shelf, you merely just take out the liner and wipe clean...and voila, fast and done!

Supplies:

6-8 place mats

1 roll shelf liner

Credit Card

Scissors

  {or}

Craft Blade/Cutting Tool

   X-ACTO Knife

Cardboard

Scrap Paper

Pencil

I made them out of inexpensive place mats and adorable turquoise chevron self adhesive shelf liner that I got here. I ended up finding the place mats at Walmart on clearance but at regular price they are around $1 in my area, I'm not sure if they have any at the dollar store but go ahead check that out too.

If you can find place mats that are already rad, then you don't need to put the extra effort in to transforming them with contact paper...just measure and cut to fit the shelf! I couldn't find any that were already fabulous so I had to change the design and I am thrilled with the results! Yay!

Step 1:

Roll out your contact paper to measure the amount needed for each place mat.

Step 2:

Carefully peel back the wax layer away from adhesive and and place the longest edge of place mat gently without making bubbles in contact paper.

Step 3:

Use a credit card /plastic card to smooth the self adhesive shelf liner paper to each place mat to ensure that it adhered onto the mat smoothly and with no air bubbles or creases. Slow and steady as to not create bubbles.

Step 4:

For the refrigerator doors I simply traced the shelf with paper and then made a cardboard template 'guide' to cut the place mats into the correct shapes, then covered them with the chevron shelf liner paper! 

It looks so cute every time I open the fridge for something....it makes me happy! ;)

I did six of these refrigerator door shelf liners, three on each side for a french door styled refrigerator.

It came out really so nice. The bottom shelf I use for the kids to reach their water bottles and kid friendly snacks.
