Start this bedroom DIY project now!

Place the tape measure against the edge of the shelf.
Step 1

Measure all the shelf’s dimensions and transfer them to the backing paper of the Artisan Oak adhesive foil.

Triangles are drawn with a pencil.
Step 2

Draw triangles of different sizes on the backing paper of the green adhesive foil.

Adhesive foil can be cut with scissors.
Step 3

Cut all the adhesive foil pieces to size – both the triangles and the larger wood-look adhesive foil pieces.

The backing paper of the adhesive foil is peeled back.
Step 4

Peel off the backing paper of the first piece of Artisan Oak adhesive foil and align it with the edge of the shelf. 

Adhesive foil is applied using the doctor blade.
Step 5

Press down the adhesive foil onto the shelf surfacewith the doctor blade.

Triangles are stuck down on the shelf.
Step 6

Now place and stick down the decorative triangles the way you want them: overlapping each other on the top, running from the top over the edge as well as on the outside of the shelf cube – and press them all down firmly with the doctor blade.

You did it!
