I was by myself and the pattern was horizontal instead of vertical so I was trying to tack the paper at one end and then tack it to the other and the try to peel sections. Omg goodness what a mess. Took me the entire day to put up 3 rows. If the pattern had been vertical like the brick I may have covered the entire wall. Lol. Thank you for sharing.

How do you get it smooth? With the tools you recommend do you go up and down or side to side? What exactly am I measuring? So you're holding the back in place with the painters tape, how do you get back there to peel the backing off?
@marypolancodesigns3 жыл бұрын
This was my first home project on video and NOT my best work for the lack of detail in it. I'm so sorry about that. I used one of those large plastic wallpaper scrapers to smooth it out. When you pull down the release paper start from the top and with both hands pull evenly and smooth out as you go. When you measure, measure from the ceiling to the floor and then leave about 2-3 inches on each end so that you can line up your bricks. I hope this helps!
