"Hanging wallpaper is very much like making love to a beautiful woman...
Is that cos ya end up with a gooey bucket?  "
You clean all the relevant surfaces, spread her out on the table, cover her with paste, and stick her up. Then you clean your brush, light your pipe, stand back and admire your handiwork
Well that's according to swiss tony anyway. |

"Have you got a plumb line?
whats that?"
Its a weight on a length of string that is suspended on the ceiling and hangs to floor level to determine the vertical line ie..to make sure the paper is hanging straight |

an ex of mine tried hanging paper once,after cutting n pasting the first strip she applied it to the wall,only to discover,it didnt reach all the way to the bottom of the wall.not to be put off by her mistake,the next strip she papered from floor to ceiling,this time only to find the strip didnt go all the way to the top of the wall.she gave up after that n the wall stayed that way for months,silly mare. |

have to admit even got the mother in law roped in last time we wallpapered - so very good luck indeed kitty - remember you have to work out the top and bottom points first so u can line up the paper and it all looks the same - may the force be with you hunxxx |

U WILL need a sharp scissors and possibly a SHARP knife (stanley type)

good luck to you sweetie and I fully understand why you wanna go it alone what a sense of achievement for ya

"ahhh i have done it!!!! just 5 sheets used!! i wish i could upload a pic to show ya i am sooooooooooooo pleased 
That's because the air bubbles haven't sprung up yet!
what are they?"
Bubbles that appear under the wallpaper...enough to make you want to rip it off the wall and scream |

You may be alright, if not just use the tip of a stanley knife to make a small slit in them and flatten them out with a cloth....hope it all goes ok for you, well done for having a go. |

I havent done a huge amount of wallpapering, but I have noticed that sometimes the bubbles go away without any action, the paper shrinks very slightly as it dries, pulling tight on the wall and flattening the bubbles. Hope this helps. |
