Once folded you can leave the paste to soak in for the wall papers recommended time.

If any paste has got onto the paste table, now is a good time to wipe it down.

Position the first sheet, allowing a little extra at the top to be trimmed off. Note how the paper is folded up! Align this first sheet of paper with the pencil mark on the wall, ensuring that it is straight.

Use a papering brush and brush out from the centre of the paper to each side, so that all air is expelled and that there are no bubbles.

The first piece should look something like this.

Now we have our first obstacle.

Ensure that the electricity is switched off when working near sockets or light switches. Feel for the outline of the socket and push the scissors through the centre.

Brush the paper over the sockets and then carefully make a series of four cuts from the centre to 5mm from the outside of the socket. The hole should be slightly smaller than the socket itself.
