Preparation
You have everything you need? Then get started!
Step 1
Clean the shelf thoroughly so that no dirt or dust sticks to it.
Step 2
Use the yard stick to determine the dimensions of the shelf, including an allowance for wrapping around the edges. Transfer the measurements onto the backing paper of the adhesive foil.
Step 3
Cut the piece of foil using the utility knife.
Step 4
Peel off the backing paper from the piece of adhesive foil, position the foil on the shelf and press it down firmly with the smoothing blade.
Step 5
Next, cut the excess foil diagonally at each corner with scissors and wrap it around all the edges of the shelf.
Step 6
Attach the two plate holders in the desired position on the wall of your choice.
Step 7
Finally, insert the concrete-look shelves at the desired height – done!
You did it!
