DIY Marble Bar Cart Top and Shelf

Marble bar carts are so so gorgeous but SO expensive! I love the look of them so I figured out a way to give our black bar cart a marble look for less! See my tutorial and easy hack to give your bar cart an upscale marble style!

Supplies

    • 2 sheets of white poster board
    • faux marble adhesive film – this one is the most realistic faux marble films on the market!
    • smoothing tool
    • clear adhesive dots – I love these and use them for all kinds of things!
    • scissors
    • X-acto knife
    • pencil
    • measuring tape


This is my bar cart shelf that I want to cover. Our bar cart is an indoor /outdoor bar cart so it has the holes to allow water to drain through it.

  1. Measure the length and width of the top of your bar cart. Also measure the length and width of the bottom shelf if you are going to cover it as well.
  2. Using the pencil mark the dimensions of the top of the bar cart onto one sheet of white poster board. Do the same for the bottom shelf using the second sheet of poster board.
  3. Cut out each piece using scissors.
  4. On a large surface unroll and lay out the faux marble adhesive liner so that the underside (side with cutting lines) is face up.
  5. Use cans of soup or veggies on each corner to make it lay flat.
  6. Lay the top poster board onto the adhesive liner and using pencil trace the poster board onto the adhesive liner.
  7. With X-acto knife cut out the adhesive film to size.
  8. Remove backing of adhesive film and lay onto the poster board.
  9. Smooth out with your hands and smooth out any bubbles using the smoothing tool.
  10. Treat other side of poster board the same way so it’s covered in film too.
  11. Lay the marble poster board onto the top of your bar cart and secure if you’d like with the clear adhesive dots. 
  12. Do the same for the bottom shelf
  13. You’re done and now have marble shelves on your bar cart!
