SUPPLIES

1) PREP THE WALL AREA

Before you begin anything, be sure to prep your walls and the space.  Do a quick clean and touch up on your walls and remove any furniture that might be in the way.

2) CUT AND LAY OUT MURAL AND CHECK FOR ACCURACY AND PROPER ORDER

We did not want to mess this up, so we opted to cut all the panels first and lay them out on our floor. I also needed to feel good about how it would look before it was permanent!

3) MEASURE AND MARK THE PLACEMENT FOR THE FIRST PANEL

The first panel is your most important one! This will ensure even application throughout.

We found we didn’t need to measure and mark an application line for each panel if we could get the first one perfectly even. If it is not, you would definitely have problems moving forward.

4) ROLL WALLPAPER GLUE ON THE WALL A PANEL AT A TIME

To apply each panel, we just rolled the glue right on the wall. It is important to do this one panel at a time, otherwise, the glue would dry out and you would have to reapply or risk an uneven surface.
