Instructions

  1. Small 109581 2f2015 06 26 192710 mounting%2bputty

    I began this project using mounting putty, but it didn't hold up very well, so I later switched out to Command Strips. So use your imagination and pretend this photo shows Command Strips instead of putty. Add some Command Strips along the top of the wall and then repeat rows every 2ft or so down the wall.

  2. Small 109581 2f2015 06 26 192643 bullitin%2bboard%2bpaper

    Starting at the top corner, press your paper into place and work your way down. Pressing the paper firmly onto the Command Strip.

  3. Small 109581 2f2015 06 26 192445 trim%2bwallpaper

    Once your entire wall is covered. Use a razor to trim off any extra length.

    Using chalk or a paint marker, draw on your design. I ended up making a stencil for the zebras so I wouldn't have to free hand the silhouette every time. Saved a lot of time and stress.
