I had a dear friend who owned a dollhouse shop and she gave me many tips over the years. <br /><br />One was that it is easier to apply wallpaper if you hold off on the window, door and baseboard trim till after. Just glue the paper to the wall (over all the openings and all the way to the floor) and trim once the paper is dry. Perfect every time! Also, I find that it is easier to put the wallpaper paste directly on the wall rather than on the paper. Wet paper will stretch and sometimes tear but that problem can be all but eliminated this way.<br /><br />Paper the side walls first, leaving a smidgeon of overlap on the back wall. Then put the paper on the back wall and no seam or edge should be visible. <br /><br />Some miniaturists put the paper on a pre-cut piece of matboard and then attach the matboard to the wall. I have only done this for room boxes. But I think when one is "re-decorating" an existing dollhouse where the trim is already firmly in place, this technique would be helpful.<br /><br />TabithaTabitha Corsicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09204999959878537971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5415024920122956510.post-54427888770241570802010-05-31T14:47:29.557-05:002010-05-31T14:47:29.557-05:00Kathi, I'm listening to the e-book narrated my...Kathi, I'm listening to the e-book narrated my the author right now!
