The unusual pattern of this wallpaper allows for many small passe-partouts and gave us the idea, to combine an existing image with it. We decided on a classic James Dean poster (for about 11 Euro from KulturBuch in Hamburg, Telephone [040] 45 25 25), with which we decorated a self-made wardrobe wall. The construction of the cloakroom can be found on page 17.
1 Um die Figur unter der Tapete richtig zu platzieren, must first be precisely defined, which sections are removed from the wallpaper. To do this, draw the contours of the face and figure with a pencil on a piece of transparent paper.
2 Dieser Papierbogen wird auf die in Garderobenwandhöhe zugeschnittene Tapetenbahn gelegt, and so arranged, that the figure has “the right perspective”.. Now the fields,
to be cut out later, mark with a needle and
3 …Cut out along the contours with a paper knife.
4 Erst das Poster und darüber die Tapete auf die Garderobenwand legen, into the specified position and mark the position.
5 Das Poster rückseitig mit einem Schwämmchen vornässen, paste and stick on the wall.
6 Die Tapete wird auf herkömmliche Weise eingekleistert und geklebt.
With the special seam roller, a perfect transition between two strips of wallpaper is the best.
Especially with patterned wallpaper, the seam should never be visible.
