Hanging Border
Things You'll Need
 Border
Tray of Water
Clean Sponges
Solution:
Hanging a wallpaper border is an easy project that can
give any room a whole new look.
If you're painting the room, do it a week in advance, so
the paint will be completely dry and the border will
adhere. If you aren't painting, just make sure the walls
are clean and smooth. Mark a guideline around the
perimeter.
Roll the border so it's paste side out. You'll want to
make sure that it isn't a tight roll so you can get all of
the paste wet.
Put the roll into a tray of water for 15 to 30 seconds.
You'll want to make sure that your tray is deep enough to
cover the entire roll.
Remove the border from the tray and slowly fold it paste
sides together into a book or accordion. When it is all
folded, let it sit for a minute or two.
Start in an inconspicuous spot like behind the door. Just
smooth the border onto the wall with a damp sponge. Make
sure you get rid of bubbles as you go.
When a section is up, all you have left to do is clean it
with a fresh sponge to get rid of any paste residue. |
