Measure your length just slightly over. on paste board turn your top corners backwards it stops the wallpaper rolling back so it'a all nice & straight, paste lightly on the walls then paste paper, always start at top push in with brush & go down making sure there are no air bubbles traped at bottom don't be scarred if you have to pull back up if enough glue it should eay be manipulated, tap in on skirting you should have a nice crease so you can then go across with knife or cut on crease with sharpe sissors .<br /><br />Hope I have explained okay for you I am a bit late in my post Luke has probably finished by now :)Exquisite Accessorieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03858476511919120207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-768354369792722053.post-40708670697117490742010-02-09T07:37:14.657+11:002010-02-09T07:37:14.657+11:00hehehe - my original comment DID work - sorry for ...hehehe - my original comment DID work - sorry for the multiples!

We found that if you over smooth, you can sometimes push out too much glue. So get air bubbles out, but don't over smooth. Sometimes my mother makes up her own wallpaper paste out of cornstarch. You want to talk about a paste that sticks, this always did the trick. If your edges roll, go back and try some white glue and smooth down. Patience is definitely the key.<br />Have fun.Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09634577121355828510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-768354369792722053.post-4189598509033142652010-02-09T04:22:29.994+11:002010-02-09T04:22:29.994+11:00I'm totally spoiled.

Now to wallpaper; I...First of all, LOVE your blog.<br /><br />Now to wallpaper; I always have a wallpaper table...a fold up, cheap bit of wood which is crucial so that you don't get into a pickle...it is also great for large, impromptu picnics (with tablecloth!) and folds away so is worth it.<br /><br />I use wallpaper paste, the kind you mix; it is important to mix this properly as you do not want lumps. It mixes really well, but if you are unsure, do what I did...I used my kitchen hand mixer. You must put it in hot soapy water immediately afterwards though...what a fun cake you'd have otherwise. ;O)<br /><br />You must make sure every inch of the wallpaper is covered, right to the edge; a thin, even coating is best. If the table isn't big enough, once you've pasted half of the paper, simply fold it up on itself...like you would if you were ironing curtain....you'll want to do this anyway to hang it.<br /><br />You have plenty of time to hang so don't panic! You start at the top, making sure it is evenly placed and press it gently into the top, making sure it is even. You then press downwards gently from the top, left to right. You are smoothing it like a dress. Be careful not to get creases although if you do, they are easily smoothed out. Once you get to the bottom, press firmly into the crease at the edge of the wall and always allow a wee bit extra to hang over, cutting at the end with a Stanley (blade)knife. I only ever allow a bit extra at the bottom, a few inches is all that is needed. The only other excess is if the last sheet is to wide; do not cut to fit; fit, then cut.<br /><br />Get a dry, clean tea towel or cloth to wipe down the wallpaper as you go; this will press out any lumps and bumps. You don't want to use your hands.<br /><br />Repeat, making sure it is lined up next to the already placed wallpaper, from top, left to right all the way down.<br /><br />Goodness, I do go on, I hope this helps though! :O) xxHelen McGinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09154777115558663250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-768354369792722053.post-43440440659598995932010-02-09T01:13:48.956+11:002010-02-09T01:13:48.956+11:00It looks like you've got the perfect advice!

W...Sounds like you have a fun project ahead of you! Wallpaper varies in terms of expected glue use - some is pre-glued, you have to apply paste to others. Overall, I have found that the glue stays wet for quite a long time (I agree with the original advice). Also, you will be able to slide it a bit once it's on....this is preferable to pulling off the wallpaper to make small adjustments - at least that it what I found - each time you pull off, you are applying stress to the already wet fibres...HAVE FUN!! oxox AJAJ at OFLBloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17759275143593482008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-768354369792722053.post-43128657820512450982010-02-08T21:58:56.976+11:002010-02-08T21:58:56.976+11:00Oh !
