1. Once the paper has soaked as per instructions check which is the top of the wallcovering (having marked it on the back if need be, before pasting), and carry it to the wall (see fig. 8). The first length is normally hung in a corner (see fig. 7) and subsequent lengths are hung working away from the last.
2. Holding the top of the length, carefully open the top fold and lightly stick the top half of the length to the wall.
3. Allow about 50mm (2") at the top of the wall for trimming off and slide the wallcovering exactly into position.
4. Smooth down the middle with a paperhanger's brush, ensuring a good butt joint and pattern match, then work out towards the edges, removing air bubbles (see fig. 9).
5. Open the bottom fold and continue to smooth the paper down to the skirting (see fig. 10).
6. Carefully run the back of the scissors along the angle of the ceiling and the wall at the top, and the skirting at the bottom, to make an impression where the wallcovering has to be cut off (see fig. 11). Gently pull the length away, trim off the excess with scissors and brush back into place.
7. Carefully wipe surplus paste from the surface of the paper and from the skirting and ceiling with a damp sponge to avoid marking when it dries. Wash sponge frequently.
