Toilet paper can be an eye-sore in a bathroom, but your toilet paper storage doesn't have to be. Here's an easy way to update a seasonal toilet paper storage container with Glue Dots® Advanced Strength Dispenser and glass tile.
Here's what you need:
- Glue Dots® Advanced Strength Dispenser
- Old storage container in need of a face lift
- White acrylic paint
- Paintbrush
- Glass tile
Here's what you do:
Clean toilet paper storage container with soap and water. Allow to dry.
Apply three coats of acrylic paint and allow drying time in between coats.
Use the Advanced Strength Dispenser to apply adhesive to the back of the tiles and then press the tile to the front of toilet paper storage container.
If you're working with a pattern, lay it out in front of you so you can maintain the pattern while you adhere the tile to the front.
It's amazing how much of a different this small change makes in the bathroom! A fresh coat of paint and tile are all you need to make your toilet paper container part of your bathroom decor.
