About this deal

After you’ve folded a length of paper, roll it. Set each roll in front of the wall where it’s going to be hung. Sometimes, rather than butting one panel up to another, you’ll need to create your own seam. The best way to do this is to lap one panel over the other, and cut down the middle of the overlap. Then peel the two pieces apart, and pull out the small strip that was cut off the underlying piece.

When you’re up against trim or other obstacles, you’ll need to make a relief cut before trimming the paper. You could make the cut with a knife, but scissors are better to avoid scratching the trim. Required Tools for this how to install wallpaper ProjectUse natural sponges to clean off paste residue after each sheet is hung. It’s a lot easier to clean up the paste while it’s still moist instead of waiting until it cures. Use a scissors instead of a knife to avoid accidentally cutting into wood trim and other obstacles.

Run a smoother over every square inch of the paper. Don’t push too hard and squeeze out the paste or stretch the paper. Lap one panel over the other, and cut down the middle of the overlap. Angle the knife blade down low so more than just the tip of the blade is doing the cutting. Don’t assume the corner you’re starting in is plumb. Use a level and draw a straight plumb line about 1/4 in. past where you want the first panel of paper to end. Take into account that inside corner seams need to be overlapped at least 1/8 in. For more information, see “Seam Inside Corners” below. Use a high-quality 1/2-in.-nap paint roller cover to apply paste—the cheap ones will leave fuzz balls behind.It might just work if you gently use the edge of roller @ 45% along the seam. Caefull don't go to hard at it or you could bruise the paper and make things worse. Finally, cover the whole wall with “wall size,” a primer/sizing product. Bob is using Shieldz made by Zinsser in the photo. Don’t skip this step! Using wall size will help the paper adhere to the wall and reduce the chance that the paper will shrink. It also makes it easier to remove the paper when the time comes. One-gallon containers are available at home centers. And never, hang wallpaper over unfinished drywall—it won’t ever come off if you do. Make sure all the walls have at least one coat of primer. Unless direct light is on it it's unnoticable, but the kitchen lights show up any errors and it does look slightly unsightly. Don't know how to hang wallpaper?

The blade option is ok too but be carefull not to go too far beyond the paper into wall ,emuslon, this could make the underlying paint film split and oen the paper up worsey. Use a full roll of paper as a guide to lay out the room. Butt a roll into the corner where you plan to start, and make a pencil mark on the wall at the edge of the roll. Slide the roll down to that mark, and make another pencil mark at the other edge of the roll. Keep doing this until you know where every seam is going to fall.
