A continuation of our tips for wallpapering from last week.

5) Make sure to use a sponge to wipe away excess adhesive off the wallpaper, baseboards and ceiling. Don’t forget to rinse your sponge also.

6) Before trimming the wallpaper with your knife (utility), make sure it’s sharp.

7) If you don’t have a sharp utility knife, you can use the back of your scissors blade to mark the angles on your wall covering. After you’ve done this, pull the paper away from the wall and trim along the line you marked with the back of your scissors. Make sure you’re good at this though, if you can’t cut a straight line, then avoid this technique and find a sharp utility knife!

8) To keep the the paper secure, use push pins. Place the pin on the lightest section of your paper, so it’s less visible after removing. Use a seam roller over the paper, after the push pin is taken out. This will smooth out the hole.
