What you’ll need to wrap your kitchen doors
  • A squeegee 
  • A scalpel 
  • A degreasing cleaning spray
  • A screwdriver
  • A cleaning cloth
Remove handles and hinges

Using a screwdriver, carefully remove all door handles and hinges.

Degrease doors

Wipe the kitchen door to remove any grease or debris using a degreasing spray and cloth to ensure that the vinyl adheres properly.

Cutting your vinyl

Roughly measure the size of your door by placing it on top of your piece of vinyl. Then, carefully cut to ensure that there is an additional width of 2 inches on either side and twice that at both the top and bottom.

Sticking

Now, place the film on the table facing down and peel a tenth of the way down. 

Smoothing

Place the door centrally on top of the vinyl film and flip upside down to reveal the front of the vinyl. Smooth over the section of vinyl that has already stuck to the door with a squeegee, peeling back any vinyl where bubbles have developed and re-smoothing to ensure that it has properly adhered. Slowly work your way down the film repeating this process until you have reached the corners of the door.

Now that you have a surface that has been fully covered, flip the kitchen cupboard door over once more and create a 45 degree cut into the excess material in each corner and smooth the edges of the door once again without creating any bubbles. Once you are left with triangular shaped pieces of excess, cut accordingly to follow the edges of the door

Re-attaching hinges and handles

Before you are free to show off your newly crafted doors, be sure to screw any handles back on and re-hinge them back on to your cupboards. Voila – your new kitchen is ready!
