Try clear contact/shelving paper (contact brand). You can pick up a roll for around $5 at wally world. It is semi-transparent and heavier and more durable than the clear films that typically cover fragile surfaces. It is sticky enough to stay put, but can be removed without leaving a nasty residue.
I use this stuff on most of my flashlights as a poor man's diffuser. It removes the beam artifacts and leaves a better more consistant beam for work use.
I also use the contact paper as a poor man's laminate for business cards. I print up emergency lists, phone lists, etc on card stock in a business card format. I seal it up with the clear contact paper and put these in my wallet and all preparedness kits for a more durable solution.
If all else fails you can re-line your cupboards.
Good luck, TR
