First sheet up, love it, I really do. I now have to cut the white edge off the other five rolls so i can line them all up as the printer left a 3mm gap at the side, which was unavoidable as it was the widest possible printer margin. Back downstairs with a craft knife and a lot of hope that I don’t cock up my lovely wallpaper as I am not the best at cutting. Last time i tried anything was foam board for labels and ended up destroying most of it.

Manage to do it, thankfully. Second strip now up with some help from friends as I can’t go up and down the ladder, glad they put up with my exating instructions as I have become a bit of a perfectionist towards the end of this project.

Third strip up, lining up the images is hard work, as is keeping it straight but I’m getting there and it’s looking more and more effective the more that goes up.

All six strips up, I’m really pleased, it’s really impressive and it is hard to see from the photos the full effect it has when you first see it. the strips are 2.3m high and covers 3.66m in length so it is quite an immediate effect on the viewer. My plan is finally coming into place and it is working out as i had planned which is very satisfying and also a great weight off my mind as it has been stressing me somehting chronic.

Just a few last air bubbles to push out and as the material is so easy to use, I could peel it up from the bottom and sort them out. The phototext fabric paper is one of the easiest things I’ve ever ued and what makes it even better is that when it comes to dismantling it all, I can put it on the backing paper and re use it if I want to. Overall it took about an hour and a half to hang the six strips and i have a feeling if i had used normal wallpaper i would have ended up wrapped in it myself and in tears!
