Pasting fabric wallpaper requires careful preparation and technique to ensure a smooth, durable finish. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

Materials Needed:

• Fabric wallpaper (pre-pasted or non-pasted)
• Wallpaper adhesive/Glue (if non-pasted)
• Smoothing brush or plastic squeegee
• Utility knife/scissors
• Measuring tape
• Sponge & clean water (for pre-pasted)
• Seam roller (optional)
• Level & pencil
• Drop cloth

Step-by-Step Pasting Method:

1. Surface Preparation:

• Ensure the wall is clean, dry, and smooth (patch holes, sand rough areas).
• Remove old wallpaper or loose paint.
• Apply a primer or sizing (helps with adhesion/Glue and easier removal later).

2. Measure & Cut:

• Measure wall height and add 2–4 inches for trimming.
• Cut fabric wallpaper into panels, ensuring pattern alignment (if applicable).

3. Hanging the Wallpaper:

• Start from a corner or center point (use a level for first panel).
• Gently press the fabric onto the wall, leaving excess at top/bottom.
• Smooth out bubbles with a brush/squeegee (work from center outward).
• Wipe off excess adhesive immediately with a damp sponge.

4. Trimming & Seaming:

• Trim top/bottom edges with a sharp utility knife.
• Match patterns carefully for subsequent panels, overlapping slightly if needed.
• Use a seam roller lightly (avoid pressing too hard to prevent adhesive bleed).

5. Drying & Finishing:

• Allow 4-6 hours to dry fully.
• Avoid drafts or excessive humidity during drying.
• Inspect for loose edges; apply extra adhesive/Glue if needed.

Tips for Success:

• Work in small sections to prevent adhesive/Glue drying too fast.
• For intricate patterns, dry-fit panels before pasting.
• Use a lint-free cloth to gently clean surface after installation.

By following these steps, your fabric wallpaper should stick smoothly and last for years.
