Remember way back in May, when I talked about wallpapering my fridge? Well, a few weeks ago I decided to do it. I was all set; I'd picked out some temporary wallpaper and had it in my (online) shopping cart...but once shipping was added in, it was over $70, and I just couldn't pull the trigger. Then I remembered this post with copper contact paper circles on the wall...and my friend Jenn's fridge, which she recently covered with circles punched out of extra-wide washi tape. And I knew just what to do! I got some gold contact paper and a small circle punch, and went to town punching away. I decided not to do an organized pattern, because I knew if it was off by even a little bit I'd get annoyed at it. Instead, I just placed the circles randomly. I tested peeling a couple off to make sure it wouldn't damage the fridge, and they came right off without leaving any residue. Best of all? I only spent around $15 and I still have over half the roll of contact paper left!
What do you guys think? See my "before" fridge here.

I love this! I did giant confetti around my mantle but now I know what to do with my leftover gold contact paper.
Yay! Thanks Michelle :)
Love! About what size are the dots? One inch? Actually was planning on doing this to my fridge soon and this just confirmed it!
Awesome! They're 5/8"--I used this craft circle punch: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0018N7NBM/ref=oh_details_o09_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
how is it when you clean your fridge? Does it damage the gold dots at all?
Where do I find the fold contact paper ? What size ouch did you use
