I've just heard of someone doing that and it ended badly, but that was because the person over contributed. I wonder if it would be legal/smart for me to do that? I don't make enough to max out my TFSA and don't take risks investing (only invest in global ETFs and bonds).

It is legal but the interest on the loan is not tax-deductible, unlike other investment loans you might take out.
