DIY Kitchen Countertop Makeover With Contact Paper (HD)
I wanted to change my countertop but because I rent, there weren't too many options. I had to make sure whatever I put, came off without damaging (even though they were already somewhat damaged) the existing countertops. I also had to keep it on a budget. Contact Paper is a great alternative. DO NOT PUT HOT POTS OR PANS ON IT. DO NOT CUT DIRECTLY ON SURFACE! It only takes 2 seconds to grab a cutting board. :)
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me in the comment section below and if you recreate any of my DIY's Please tag me on Instagram or Twitter so I can see them.. you can find my links at the bottom of this description box.
UPDATE: It's been two months and it still looks great! I have had water, juice and other stuff spill on it and nothing has happened to it. It is also very easy to clean. No lifting at corners or anywhere! The only thing left is to see if it comes off as easy as it clams it does but that will have to wait until I move or get bored with it. I will update when either one happens. :)

Items I used
1.) I bought Contact brand, Black & White Marble contact paper. I had a small counter so only used one roll and almost didn't have enough so make sure to measure your countertop first!
I bought mine from a seller on Amazon but they no longer carry it. If you Google "Contact Brand Marble Contact Paper" you'll find some.
2.) Utility Knife
3.) Card
4.) Scissors
A tiny bit about myself:
Hi, my name is Ivelisse. I've been artistic and creative my whole life. Unfortunately, it wasn't an easy one. I'm a survivor of many trials and tribulations. It caused me to develop serious mental health issues. I was self-medicating by using drugs and alcohol for over twenty years. On August 1st, 2014, I threw myself at the mercy of the Lord and prayed to God to save me. I asked God to forgive me for all my sins, and I forgave everyone who ever hurt me. I've been sober and clean ever since. Glory be to God! I started my walk with Christ along with my health and fitness Journey, and soon after, I found myself itching to get back to my passion, my art! But: I didn't just want to do it for myself. I wanted to share what God blessed me with and did for me and the joy He brings me to others. Not long after, I created my YouTube channel, DIY No Need To Cry! I took the bottles that were killing me and turned them into art. With each piece I make, I replace a bad memory and create new ones with all of you! Welcome to the crafty fam! God bless you all!
