SIMPLE DIY Sliding Glass Door HACK! UNDER $50! Frosted With Cheap Contact paper !

[@NassstyNikki]

Thanks!! I did this in my apartment and was able to take down the ridiculous vertical blinds and it's amazing how it not only opened up the room, but it also looks fantastic. I get tons of compliments on them and everyone is amazed that I did it myself 🙂

[@Gtfobcso2024]

I am watching this BECAUSE I despise vertical blinds. And cannot afford curtains or to put holes in my wall.

[@freshbloominclothing]

Incredible! I'm trying to cover up sliding mirrored closet doors as the mirrors have chips/ worn out areas. I don't think this will work but I'll remember it for the future. THANK YOU!

[@humerahaleem4130]

This is a great idea! I was searching and searching for ways to modernize the patio door and this is the BEST one yet!

[@KoKoCola82]

[@AimsysAntics]

Wow, these really change up the room! Love how they look! I definitely would not be able to get the lines on the window as straight as you have! Great DIY xoxo

[@ReggieTime]

My first search was your video & its fantastic!

[@diylilyardor3435]

YAY! Happy to hear! thank you :) Hope you have a great day :D

[@Spacereform3]

What type of contact paper, though? The link doesn't work for Canadians, and this looks like laminate for paper, but it's not totally transparent/clear? Wish you had mentioned what product was used :)

[@diylilyardor3435]

The company has actually stopped selling it so that's why the links wasn't working. I found the same one here - amzn.to/48WldlI Should be the same unless the company started making it different. Looks pretty similar to me. It's just clear adhesive contact paper.

[@toogoodatlookingbummy]

Wow. This is amazinggggg! Great job!

[@vintagecladius]

This is brilliant! Thanks for sharing!!

[@TaraElliott-gf1gc]

Wow!!! Amazing!

[@ReggieTime]

Excellent‼️‼️‼️ I liked the tiny gap, for looking out purposes

[@diylilyardor3435]

LOL It's not enough for tony he keeps opening the door anyway :D

[@ReggieTime]

@@diylilyardor3435 Hahaha sounds like something a Tony would do☺️☺️☺️

[@n.w.414]

Yes, I would want to be able to see out too.

[@Insomniaallnight]

I like this idea a lot but I'm just curious to know what it might look like from the outside.

[@kg4955]

Nice job! Glad I found this - I was going to try the spray-on frost/paint to hack mirrored closest doors to look like frosted glass , but this method will be so much easier.. thanks!

[@rosale8533]

Hello! This is a great DIY! I know others have asked questions about the outside, but I have one that is a bit more specific. Did the frames on the outside show signs that you painted them on the inside? I have a condo where the HOA does not allow us to have our exterior windows differ from any our neighbors. I love the look of black frames from the inside though.

[@ncasano]

What does it look like when the door is open can you see the white overlap from the part of the door behind the glass?

[@firemedia8922]

Since it’s frosted it’s unlikely you’d see that unpainted middle piece. That said, you can look up how to remove the sliding door section completely to spray every part of the frame if you’re going for all black and don’t want to frost or just want to transform the entire thing inside out.

[@toyiaorphee5100]

Hi I did exactly what you did to my patio doors they look amazing. Thank you

[@jonathanmarquis866]

LPT you could have skipped taping off the windows and use a razorblade to clean the windows up when done. works great and saves time as you need to go over the window with a blade anyways before you wash them when prepping for the contact paper.

[@eunicewashington9705]

Very clever idea

[@Nurse_Kim]

Wow who would have thought ❤

[@MarcoPiampiani]

I've used clear contact on a kitchen window once but the only contact plastic film I could find was too clear to get a blocking effect so I used the rough scrubbing part of a kitchen sponge to VERY SLOWLY scratch the film to get a frosted effect. I guess you could do the same with ultra fine sandpaper, I just didn't have any laying around.

[@KapuaKuheana]

like MAGIC this was amazing

[@viviancovington7813]

Brilliant!

I love this

[@kathleenrutherford733]

Fabulous

[@firemedia8922]

Awesome voiceover tutorial! Very well made. Looks completely night and day. I like how you can change it in the future, I see all these trendy sub decisions popping up here (Utah) and can’t help but wonder if we’ll see them in 20 years and be like “oh yeah that’s a 20’s house for sure” haha. Thanks for sharing and keep creating!!!

[@Pamela-p1n]

Thanks! I love this idea

[@linavilaa]

This is great 💡 👍 your door looks beautiful 🤩

[@gemmahulme8883]

How is this standing up? Awesome Job!

[@lolitabonita08]

really good idea and looks amazing!

[@diylilyardor3435]

Hi guys, hope ya'll had a great week! Happy Saturday 😊. Hope you like my padio door makeover😬 We are in love with how it turned out! Next up :) I'll be doing some cricut videos. ps. Linked all the supplies in the description if you need them.

[@kitten88dm]

Hello, could you please tell me what thickness the tape is?

[@crazyblessed8204]

This is awesome! I will be doing this to my new French doors in my room!!

[@diylilyardor3435]

OOH this will look so good on french doors! So happy to hear this DIY inspired you 🤗

[@lanadale1479]

Love it ..Thanks!!

[@KapuaKuheana]

did you clean in the bottom track area too?? like to get any dirt or dust out??

[@salutmelle]

I live in an apartment. How easy is this to remove when I move out, and does it leave any residue? Thank you!

[@barbb8117]

This looks great!! Thanks for sharing !

[@diylilyardor3435]

You're so welcome. Thanks for watching!

[@lizettenovelo1]

Can I do this on mirror sliding doors?

[@irmayturner8602]

It looks awesome 👌. Can I do something like this on my shower?

[@zanchatman]

I love this DIY hack super cute. I am going to do this one too. Quick question: this was inside, what about outside? Also when you slide the door open you will see the part not painted?

[@diylilyardor3435]

You can do both sides it'll just take more time. The other side shows gray tape not black. and yes it's silver on the outside. Glad you loved it!

[@MichelMawon4982]

Lovely!

[@vchan1922]

Thank you for the good idea. The window film( contact paper), is that easy to remove?

[@HomeIdeasYT]

Great!

[@diylilyardor3435]

THANK YOU

[@micheleguerin8552]

I tried this with window privacy film. I got the 1/2" gaffer's tape/black. I did this today. The gaffer's tape is SO NOT sticking to the plastic film! I have done 2 of 4 doors and realize I need to find another tape to use. Right now I am looking at it peeling off and hanging from the door. All that work for this mess! How did you get the gaffer's tape to stick or maybe on frosted glass it adheres better.

[@diylilyardor3435]

sorry to hear this is a struggle. Did you use the windox method to apply the film? If so I would give it a week to dry before apply the tape. It's still trying to release any moisture and that could explain the tape not sticking. I didn't have any problem with the tape sticking however I did wait about a week before I put the tape on.

[@cristinagotcher2759]

The link for the contact paper is for clear not frosted, is that right?

[@diylilyardor3435]

Yes its labeled as clear but it comes looking frosted.

[@Theegoaat]

Awls me idea but I still want to be able to look out without being seen. Maybe I'll buy some tint for the main sliding door.

[@zaneblane8160]

How many rolls did you use? What size are your doors? Unfortunately, Amazon has raised their prices considerably..these items are about $4-5 higher now..would be a $60 project for me..not including the now $12 tape (was $8)..just to update..

[@FoodieBeautyStan]

Shocker. Everything seems to be going up. 😂

[@michellehood3345]

Clever girl ...

[@Ant3qlvr]

What kind of painters tape u used to cover the sides so paint wont go on walls ?? Never seen such wide painters tape . Can u provide link ?

[@pootninny]

That it paper with a taped edge commonly used by pro’s. Hardware stores carry it. Masking paper

[@jhanazer4602]

Whre to get the contact paper

[@donnah3892]

Looks nice! but if your all thumbs on a project like this, as another way is just tape thin strips where you want space (clear glass.) Then spray 2 light coats of frost spray all over the glass. After about 15 to 20 mins. Remove the tape.

[@politemalatela3585]

Is it transparent at night

[@Sheetalandyou]

From where buy ?

[@sirnapsalot4848]

How many bottles of spray paint did you use?

[@diylilyardor3435]

I think 1 was almost enough I ended up using 2.

[@sirnapsalot4848]

Thanks!

[@donovan2913]

Neat !

[@ajf597]

💯👍🏼💯💯👍🏼

[@jmackinjersey1]

Great video. But think about all of the black paint that you found on your floor, and now remember that it is also sitting in your lungs. Since you were inside and the doors and windows were closed, you got a concentration of black paint/fumes in your lungs. Please, next time use a simple respirator with paint filters on it.
