Pole Wrap a Bifold Closet Door DIY

For me, design is in the details. Which, for me, means no design opportunity goes undone. Case in point is this bifold coat closet door.

Trust me, the interior already got its glow up.

When BASE CAMP Masks got in touch asking me to check out their dust mask, it was a terrific DIY opportunity to give this boring door a great new look.

First I needed to get this door into the workshop. It's easy to remove and replace a bifold door: open it, watch your fingers, push the whole door upwards, tilt it out at the bottom and down towards you, then out. To reinstall, do the reverse. Easy!

This bifold closet door is two feet wide so all I needed were two packages of 12" wide pole wrap. After laying the wrap over the closet door panels, it was looking a little too pole wrap-y so I poked around my scrap wood to find ways to break up the design a smidge.

Be sure when cutting pole wrap that you use painters tape around the cutting area as it will keep splintering to a minimum.

Here I'm measuring where my strip of plywood will go which is right over the hole for the original door pull.

A bit more trimming of the pole wrap and it was time to glue.

All this trimming did create a bunch of very fine sawdust but thankfully I had my new BASE CAMP woodworking mask -- I was safe as can be, not a single fine speck got through it. Really, truly, the very best filtration mask I've ever used.

Time to glue up! Using construction adhesive and weighting everything down snug, I adhered the pole wrap to the doors. Be sure to get the glue all the way to the edges.

Back upstairs, I found I had a little extra trimming to do but voilá, it looks great! So much better and no longer boring.

While I still need to do a few more little tweaks (the door framing wood is bowed of course, thanks flipper and the door apparently hasn't shut all the way prior), I think it turned out very stylish and chic!

Thanks BASE CAMP Masks for helping this project come to fruition!
