This brings me to my next point, we put so much care and consideration into our home, and we would not want to spend so much time on something like a DIY Stone Backsplash and then put tape on the door as a permanent fixture. It may look good from afar or in pictures, but close up the tape would not look like it was an intentional design on your home. At first glance, this may seem like the best way, but there were a few substantial reasons that we chose to upgrade from the tape idea.įirst of all, the tape may not match your door or window exactly, even if the door is black and so is the tape. #budgetfriendlydiy #budgetfriendlydecor #window #windowgrids #diywindow #diyblackwindows #diyduo #diydupe #diydupes #highend #interiordesign #ibuiltthat #marriagegoals #diyhumor #renovation #reno #easydiy #easydiyprojects #cheapupgrades #homeupgradetips2022 #electricaltape #electricaltapewindow follow for my diy home projects ♬ original sound – Melody Can I use electrical tape to DIY Door grids?Īs I mentioned before, when I first went looking for DIY door grid options, I saw a lot of people using electrical tape to create grid lines on their glass doors.

Not much paint is needed for the door, and we used the same paint for our grid so that it all matches! We had all of the glue we needed for this project on hand, so it made it super simple to throw together. We were able to find scrap pieces of wood from a previous project, but if we needed to buy the wood needed for our DIY door grid, it would be really inexpensive. Trevor took a look and decided that using thin pieces of wood and fitting them flush together would be our best option. I’ll talk later about why we didn’t go with that option. The first thing that I stumbled upon was an electrical tape hack. I was determined to make my DIY door dreams a reality, so I started looking for options. Unfortunately, the answer that we found was that we could not remove the grid from the glass in order to paint it and we would have to find another solution. For a long time, we loved the look of it!
