How to use Wallpapering Tools?
To begin, measure the wall you'll be working on and calculate how much wallpaper you'll need.
Then, cut the wallpaper to size, making sure to leave a little extra at the top and bottom.
Next, apply the wallpaper paste to the back of the wallpaper using a brush or roller. Be generous with the paste, making sure to cover the entire surface.
Now it's time to hang the wallpaper. Starting at the top of the wall, carefully align the wallpaper with the ceiling and smooth it down as you go.
Use the level to make sure the wallpaper is straight, and use the smoothing brush to remove any air bubbles.
Finally, trim the excess wallpaper from the top and bottom of the wall with a knife. That's it! You've successfully hung your wallpaper.
