Remaking Home Items with Marble Sheets ♡
"Marble sheets" can transform home items to have a marble-like appearance. They can be purchased at home improvement stores, 100-yen shops, Rakuten, and more. By simply applying a sticker, you can change items whose color or material you don't like to look like marble ♡
(These are called "remake sheets," and there are various types besides marble, including wood grain and floral designs!)
In this article, we'll introduce how to apply remake sheets and popular remake examples using "marble sheets."*

<How to Use Marble Sheets>
① Cut the sheet to the size of the area you want to apply it to.
(It's recommended to buy a sheet larger than the area to avoid difficulties aligning the patterns when joining smaller sheets.)
② Peel the backing off the sticker from one end and carefully apply it with a ruler or towel to avoid bubbles.
③ If large bubbles do appear, pierce them with a pin to release the air.
◆POINT◆
If the area where you're applying it is curved (like the side of a round table), you can hold a hairdryer against the sheet while stretching it to apply it nicely.*

Make Your Home Stylish with Marble Sheets ♡
There are plenty of spots in the house where you think, "It would look stylish if this were marble..." like a wooden counter or a black table.
(I personally think it would be amazing to transform the built-in counter and the bed frame to look like marble...!)
Upon researching, I found that marble sheets are relatively inexpensive:
☑ At Daiso, it's 100 yen for 80×30 cm.
☑ On Rakuten, it's approximately 3,388 yen for 61 cm×5 m.
So, even transforming a large TV stand and two counters of about 2 m each would only cost around 4,000 yen, making it definitely cheaper than buying new items!
Let’s use remake sheets wisely to get closer to your ideal home♡
